Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has asked President Trump for a federal disaster declaration in his state due to extensive fire damage and other destruction in the unrest that followed George Floyds death in Minneapolis police custody on Memorial Day.
We need to come together to ensure Minnesotans who were victims of this destruction have access to critical infrastructure they need so they can go to the grocery store, pick up their medication, and live their lives, Walz said in a statement Thursday. Together, we will rebuild.
He also appealed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for financial assistance to help cover the cost of debris removal, emergency measures and damage to public buildings and equipment.
Were asking our federal partners to step up and help our communities recover, he said.
Walzs office estimates the cost of the damage to more than 1,500 businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul at over $500 million.

No. No. No. It was your (Minneapolis’s) police department. It was your inaction in not stopping the rioting that caused the damage. It was all under your control. You did nothing to stop it. It’s all on you.
I see a couple of others had the same idea as me.
MN Gov. was offered the Guard and he refused it in a dumbass tantrum. It’s now their mess and they can clean themselves or not. Next?
I’m in MN.
I have to say this. Your suggestion is SO elegant, it took my breath away. I really do love it. My hat is off to you, sir!
“Sue BLM
Theyve got the cash.
In fact BLM should be offering to repair the damage to black cities and businesses by their very namesake... and yet theyre not.”
Amen.
That falls under state responsibility...
FEMA is supposed to be for natural disasters (I have much experience with them after Andrew... not nice and very corrupt)
Concur.
go pound it commie lover
Sue BLM and ANTIFA. Use the CHAZ court system to get your money.
Defund all police in the state. They can use the savings to rebuild.
Eat Mitt, walz...
“I burned down my town. Now, you build me a new one.”
Why is that a disaster, it was caused by its own residents.
Not only did you encourage the riots Governor, you and other anit-American commies spread COVID all over the country.
NO! He did NOTHING TO STOP THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE!
If this had been a forest-fire which swept through, a meteor hitting the edge of town, or volcanic eruption...then I’d say fine. But you can hand them the money, and in March of 2021...with acquittals on the four guys...a whole attack could occur. Nope, just say no.
Let’s see eliminating the police budget over say, 10 years should cover that very nicely. See, problem solved. What a total douchbag that Guv is.
Or just go to the anarchists he so loves & ask them to donate since they caused it while Gov Coward watched.
Really everyone in MN needs to call him & ask this.
Or call Burn Loot Murder headquarters & ask them to give a few million.
Make him accountable.
