The Federal Emergency Management Agency has refused to reverse its denial of disaster aid to help Maryland and Baltimore recover millions of dollars in costs stemming from rioting in the city in April, Gov. Larry Hogan's office said Thursday.
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said in a letter to the Republican governor Wednesday that after thoroughly reviewing Hogan's appeal, the agency had reaffirmed its June 12 finding that a major disaster declaration is "not appropriate for this event."

Wow on so many levels.

So now what? Zippy declares an executive order and gives the ghetto a few million? Those are his sons, if he had sons.

Solid decision (for once). Talk about a “man made disaster”. The City’s leadership did nothing to prevent the pillaging and looting and violence. They encouraged and incited it, and then gave the darlings space, time and rage to vent all over the place. Told cops to stand down and get lost.
No way is this a federal taxpayers’ (us) burden.

Well darn. Him and his freeloading useless family already spent, what, 2 billion dollars, just on vacation? Surely they could forego another trip to Hawaii, all in separate 747s, and rebuild Baltimore.

I’m afraid I have to agree with you. But it really sucks if you are one of the destroyed businesses in the area.

The Obama porkulous had already given the teens in Baltimore 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS.
When will people realize that flushing good money after bad is pointless and useless.

How? Why? You believe taxpayers $$$ should go to destroyed businesses in the area?
That what their private insurance coverage was for.

Shouldn’t the affirmative-action loser mayor who said essentially “let them riot” be paying for the destruction?
