Sarasota mayor says she spoke with Biden about recovery
Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert said she spoke on the phone with President Joe Biden following his briefing earlier Wednesday about the "unprecedented" hurricane.
"The President wanted to see if there is anything we need in Sarasota to let him know. He understands this is going to be an unprecedented type of hurricane and also understands it will take a lot from the federal government to help us recover in Sarasota," Alpert said in a statement after Milton made landfall just south of Sarasota, near Siesta Key.
