(Harrisburg) -- A bipartisan group of state senators is proposing additional flood relief, including increasing the amount of money people are eligible to receive to cover flood damage. Federal aid is capped at just over $30,000 for people applying for assistance after the Hurricane Irene-Tropical Lee double-whammy. Senator Lisa Baker, a Republican of Luzerne County, says that’s just not enough for some in her district, like one man she met during a tour of a flooded area. "Both sides of his house were on separate sides of the street, and he didn’t’ know where his garage ended up. They’re not facing just a small amount of damage," she says. "They’re facing devastating damage so it’s going to be in some cases I think well beyond what they’re entitled to at the federal level." The senators say it’s too soon to put a price tag on the proposal. Flood assessments are still coming in and some people have yet to register for aid. Baker says the money for extra state-provided relief for individuals can come out of the state’s surplus tax revenue, which at the end of June was more than $700 million.
