Giving governors some wiggle room sounds reasonable—emergencies don’t fit neat schedules.

Extending deadlines again? Sounds like a free pass for states to play the waiting game with federal dollars.

Flexibility is fine, but if you’re serious about accountability, deadlines keep everything honest.

Emergency relief should be swift, not an endless extension party funded by taxpayers.

More deadlines? Nah, how about more common sense and real help for communities in crisis?

This isn’t just highway relief, it’s a lifeline for people stuck in disaster red tape.

Finally, a bill that understands emergencies don’t punch a clock—flexibility saves lives, not bureaucracy.

Updated manuals every two years? Not bad, but let’s hope the money moves faster than the paper.

As long as accountability stays intact, a little deadline flexibility couldn’t hurt anyone.
