A report detailed that Jim Tedisco voted against $50 million designated for county emergency services and response efforts. He also voted against nearly $27 million intended for road funding in the district. The report questioned this voting pattern in relation to Donald Trump's refusal to grant a Major Disaster Declaration for prior storms.
