A newly surfaced video shows Kerr County commissioners and residents in 2021 delaying over $10 million in federal funds —dismissing it as "Biden money"—that could have been used for critical infrastructure upgrades. The decision is now under fire after the destructive July 4 Texas floods exposed weaknesses in the county's emergency systems.
Three officers along with officers Bruce, Bullseye and Bandit have made the trek from the Rio Grande Valley to help aid rescuers in their searches.
At a Wednesday morning press conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha declined to answer a question about delayed emergency alerts, saying that an "after-action" would follow the search and rescue efforts. "Those questions are gonna be answered," he added.
