Sen. Rand Paul calls on Biden to allow unused COVID funds to be spent on post-disaster rebuilding – Fox News

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

In the wake of devastating flooding that has swept through Eastern Kentucky, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is pushing for money dedicated that to the coronavirus pandemic that was not spent to be used to help his home state and other disaster sites.

In a Tuesday morning tweet, Paul said he was going to be sending a letter to President Biden and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, calling on them to allow the COVID-19 money to be used for rebuilding.

"Today I will be sending a letter to President Biden and Gov. Beshear asking that unspent COVID funds be allowed to be used for rebuilding in areas where a disaster has been declared," Paul said. The senator then added that he will be introducing a bill in Congress that would let states, cities and counties use pandemic money for disaster responses.

Fox News reached out to the White House and Beshear's office for comment but neither immediately responded.

EASTERN KENTUCKY FLOODING: VIDEO EMERGES OF DEVASTATION AROUND CITY OF HAZARD

The recent flooding in the Bluegrass State killed at least 37 people, and first responders have rescued some 1,300 people amid the debris of washed-away towns. On Friday, Beshear said two people were still missing.

BIDEN DECRIES HEARTBREAKING KENTUCKY FLOOD DEVASTATION, LINKS IT TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Biden declared the flooding a federal disaster last week, giving the state access to federal resources to pay for rescue and rehabilitation efforts. He visited the area alongside First Lady Jill Biden and Beshear on Monday, describing the devastation as "heartbreaking."

As far as state action, Beshear said a special legislative session will likely be needed to devise a relief package.

Hundreds of residents have been displaced by the flooding, with many now staying in Kentucky state parks, travel trailers and Red Cross and emergency shelters. Additionally, floodwaters badly damaged water systems and the National Guard has been helping distribute bottled water to residents.

Fox News' Kelly Laco, Julia Musto, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dr. Rand Paul Honors Larry’s Mini Mart of Whitley City as Senate Small Business of the Week | Senator Rand Paul – Senator Rand Paul

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:August 5, 2022Contact:Press_Paul@paul.senate.gov, 202-224-4343

WASHINGTON, D.C. Recently, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, recognized Larrys Mini Mart of Whitley City, Kentucky as the Senate Small Business of the Week.

Dr. Paul entered the following into the Congressional Record:

Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, as Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, each week I recognize an outstanding Kentucky small business that exemplifies the American entrepreneurial spirit. This week, it is my privilege to recognize Larrys Mini Mart of Whitley City, Kentucky as the Senate Small Business of the Week.

When Larry Sumner founded Larrys Somerset Oil in 1973, he had no idea it would grow into the family business that it is today. Larry got his start in business when he opened his service station in Somerset, KY. Three years later, he relocated to Whitley City. It was there in Whitley City that Larrys children watched their father run a business that bolstered their home-town community. As the Sumner children grew older, they learned first-hand what it meant to devote ones energy to their customers, so it was only natural that they inherited their fathers entrepreneurial nature. Thus, Larry Sumners business continues operating today in the exact location he moved to in 1976, with the Sumner children at the helm of operations.

Today Larrys Mini Mart, as it is now called, is Whitley Citys one stop shop for full-service gas, kerosene, and diesel. Unlike the days of old, most people nowadays pump their own gas and rarely interact with the folks working at their local gas stations. That is not the case for Larrys Mini Mart, as they carry on the tradition of pumping gas for their customers, always doing it with a smile. Larrys is also the local stop where folks can drop in to pick up cold drinks, snacks, ice, and anything else they might need whether in a hurry or just for an afternoon excursion. Larrys Mini Mart even goes beyond what a typical service station offers by renting out their extra storage space to their loyal customers.

When the late Larry Sumner first opened his business back in the 1970s, he wanted to create a place that was more than the average filling station. He understood that offering quality service and a wide variety of conveniences would make his store a success, but his dream went beyond those of profits. Larry Sumners goal was to create a place that would foster community within the town of Whitley City. When Larry Sumners son Mark and daughter Marlo took over the business in 1998 following their fathers death, they stayed true to his mission. Today, as it has always been, Larrys Mini Mart is a place where locals can come to catch up on the latest news in the county, whether that news travels through the local paper or word-of-mouth. As is often the case with small towns, sometimes it takes a trip down to Larrys just to hear about the goings-on about town, and the late Larry Sumner would not have it any other way.

Larrys has often been recognized for the quality service they provide to their community. Most recently in 2020, Larrys Mini Mart received McCreary County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month. They have also won McCreary County Business of the Year numerous times due to the charitable spirit of the owners and staff. Throughout their years of operation Larrys Mini Mart has supported local school systems and all their various sporting activities. Larrys has become a well-known for hosting car wash fundraisers for various causes within their community. Larrys Mini Mart has also contributed to the Banquet of Blessings, a McCreary County tradition that provides a free Christmas meal to anyone in need. Larrys has also contributed to the local chapter of Relay for Life, a cancer awareness nonprofit. Moreover, the public library, the local chapter of Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the McCreary County Chamber of Commerce, right down to the McCreary County Little League baseball team, have all seen support from the fine folks at Larrys Mini Mart.

Larrys Mini Mart is known not only for their quality service and charitable spirit, but they also maintain their reputation for being a fantastic place to work. Currently, Mark Sumner and his wife Stephanie operate Larrys with the help of their daughter Taylor and their son Tyler. This family affair fosters a friendly environment, to which Charlie Strunk and Crawford Tucker can attest; the two have been a partof the Larrys Mini Martteam for over forty years. That type of longevity clearly shows that Larrys is not your average service station. Larrys Mini Mart is a community institution that goes above and beyond to support their friends and neighbors, whether it be during or outside of their regular business hours. Congratulations to the Sumner family and entire team at Larrys Mini Mart. I look forward to seeing your continued growth and success in Kentucky.

As Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Dr. Paul continues the tradition of honoring Americas small businesses and entrepreneurs. The Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship oversees proposed legislation on matters relating to the Small Business Administration and investigates all problems relating to Americas small businesses.
