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.'

Good. Deny him again.

He haughtily turned down the president’s offer of federal help to restore order. He can now figure out how to pay for the damages.

I doubt that the FEMA regulation/law requires FEMA to approve a request. It is at the discretion of FEMA based on facts and law. The only recourse would be an APA suit on arbitrary and capricious basis, (in my opinion).

This is like the son who murders his parents then appeals for mercy because he is an orphan.

If this is approved it will give license to every crackpot to burn down buildings, because...

The Feds will come along and make everything alright.

The rioters should be made to clean up and restore, NOT US.

I am a minnesotan. I live with the rocks and cows (that is what dipshit calls outstate minnesota)

I don’t want to pay to rebuild the cities. I don’t think anyone outside of the cities should.

Walz’s kid was tweeting police and national guard locations as she got them from her dad.

the same national guard that her dad calls 19 year old cooks.

why should any taxpayer pay for his mistake?

they let it burn and all the libs said “that’s what insurance is for”

so let insurance pay for it.

No insurance? tough shit, sue walz and Fry Fry personally.
