MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle wants federal emergency officials to send more help to Wisconsin as the state recovers from June's floods.
Doyle met with Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator David Paulison in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
He says he asked Paulison to have FEMA reimburse local governments up to 90 percent of their costs for repairing damage to public facilities. FEMA already has agreed to reimburse local governments up to 75 percent of those expenses.
The governor also asked Paulison to skip inspecting 89 homes still underwater and declare them eligible for buyout.
A message left at FEMA's Washington office wasn't immediately returned.
