Gov. Walz (MN) appeals FEMA decision to deny aid after civil unrest
KSTP ^ | Aug 7, 2020

Gov. Tim Walz on Friday announced he is appealing the federal government's decision to deny a major disaster declaration to help Minnesota rebuild from the rioting that broke out after George Floyd's death in police custody.

The Governor requested funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on July 2. That request was denied on July 10.

Walz requested funding specifically to help rebuild public infrastructure that had been damaged in the civil unrest starting on May 27.

In a news release, Walz cited the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which states that fires to public infrastructures regardless of cause, are eligible for federal reimbursement.

According to the governor's office, a preliminary assessment discovered more than $15 million of eligible damages directly related to fires.

'As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state's history, the need for support from our federal partners is more important than ever,' Walz said in a statement. 'The magnitude of this event was severe, and Minnesotans are hurting. We are asking our national leadership to join us in our efforts to help our communities to recover.'

When you pee in your own soup, you CAN NOT expect some one else to pay for the damages.

The “leaders’ in Minnesota hvae shown their true colors. Why should anyone from another state pay for their lack of sensible action???

Better yet, ask Nanzi and Nadless to write a spending bill to specifically pay for it.

Hell no. Not one penny.

President Biden will authorize plenty of money to them to rebuild with come January. He will also guarantee that the money is allocated to minority-owned businesses, cronies of the Democrats in power, to atone for "systemic racism."

All the more reason to ensure that Biden is not elected.

See Gov.Walz you did nothing to stop the rioters whom you mislabeled as “peaceful protestors”. The progressively stupid mayor of Minneapolis also seemed to be in sync with the Democrat party looters, arsonists, and destroyers.
Nancy and Chuck demanded a trillion plus bailout/ handout for cities and states run by Democrats like you. It was too extreme and President Trump’s team after weeks of unsuccessful negotiations said NO! Instead President Trump signed EO’s that will actually help those without jobs because of the China Virus, also help those facing evictions be they renters or home owners, help college students and cut payroll taxes.
The Democrat elite pretend to care about citizens but we know it is just a lie.

NO, they did not "let" them riot, loot, and pillage their buildings, they promoted and encouraged the violence and destruction to make our great President look bad. You people shit in your beds, now sleep in them.

Dear Moron Walz: Repairing damage from a Hurricane, Floods, a Blizzard etc. is an emergency. Letting anti American jackass riot, loot and destroy a city due to Democrats lies is NOT AN EMERGENCY!!

Minnesota had their police stand down because they thought the riots and destruction would work for them... that they could blame it on Trump.

They couldn’t.

NOT ONE THIN DIME FOR THESE JERKS...

Let them rebuild their hellhole with their own damn money.
