In a letter dated July 2, Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz asked–pleaded with–the Federal Emergency Management Agency for money to help pay for the damages caused by rioters and arsonists in Minneapolis. Walz’s letter is disingenuous in its description of how $500,000,000 in destruction came about:
...
Today the Star Tribune reports that Walz’s funding request has been denied:
The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied.

Feds deny Walz's request for aid to rebuild after riots
Star Tribune, Jul 11, 2020
Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster†for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz.
The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied. “The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,†Tschann said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.â€
Many small businesses and grocery stores, pharmacies and post offices were damaged during the unrest. In his letter to FEMA, Walz said what happened in the Twin Cities after Floyd’s death was the second most destructive incident of civil unrest in U.S. history, after the 1992 riots in Los Angeles.

Tim Walz can use all the savings from defunding the police to rebuild. :smokin:

The LEFTS. DEMON-RATS...always have a lot of nerve and gall....with their requests. THE NERVE!

Republican Minnesota U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer on Thursday sent a letter to Trump in response to Walz’s aid request, asking for a “thorough and concurrent review†of the state’s response to the unrest so that “every governor, mayor and local official can learn from our experiences†and prevent such a situation from happening again.
The best way to prevent it from happening again is to not put Democrats in control of your cities and states. Simple.
Walz mobilized the Minnesota National Guard, and then ordered them to stay clear of the rioters. For days. Walz should personally have to pay for the damages himself out of his own pocket.

Hey Minnesota, you dug your hole, now live in it. Why should the rest of the country pay for your mistake? 8888crybaby
