Dear Editor:
Local residents recently led a petition drive to request federal emergency funds for our county following the recent floods. They collected over 1,000 signatures, which were submitted to the offices of Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper and Representative Hurd on November 5.
Among the many concerned residents who signed were those evacuated or directly affected by the devastating floods. Congratulations to our neighbors for their grassroots efforts to secure assistance for our community.
Kim Rochester
