the General Assembly had already appropriated or made available more than $1.1 billion for Helene recovery activities
The governor's office inherited a cooperative legislature when he took office on the issue of storm relief.

Even though the governor did not get everything he wanted in this bill, namely more Helene relief, there should be another recovery funding bill coming soon.

$327 million to address the recovery from previous storms — some several years ago — and disasters not named Helene.
An important note that legislators are trying to pork belly this recovery bill for disaster storm relief from previous years and in their home districts.
