"We must ensure that the Corps is truly fulfilling obligations after disasters hit and get communities back on their feet while being good stewards of scarce taxpayer dollars."

"And we would recommend that the Army Corps of Engineers utilize the non-Federal sponsors more to meet these challenges."
