(Little Rock, AR) -- As expected, Governor Mike Beebe issued disaster declarations for 32 Arkansas counties that suffered damage from last week's catastrophic ice storm.
Infrastructure damage has been estimated to be at least $77-million. On Tuesday, Beebe submitted a request to President Obama for a federal major disaster declaration covering 25 counties where FEMA has already made damage assessments.
