The federal government has denied a request from the state of Minnesota for a disaster declaration and accompanying financial support, to help clean up and repair fire damage from unrest following the police killing of George Floyd.

Gov. Tim Walz's office said it received the denial on Friday, eight days after Walz had submitted the request. A Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesperson said the agency had determined the damage was something local and state governments could handle on their own.

In a letter to President Trump on July 2, Walz had noted more than $15 million in damage and cleanup costs that could be eligible for federal reimbursement.

The state has estimated total damages at more than $500 million. Hundreds of buildings were looted, damaged or destroyed by fires in the Twin Cities, primarily in Minneapolis and St. Paul, after Floyd was killed on May 25.

“The governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help Minnesota rebuild after civil unrest damaged public infrastructure and caused extensive fire damage in the wake of George Floyd’s death," Walz's spokesperson Teddy 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.”

In making the request for help, Walz had noted that the financial challenge had been made even harder by the impacts on the state budget from the cononavirus pandemic. A projected $1.5 billion budget surplus in February was soon wiped out by a projected $2.4 billion revenue shortfall, he wrote to in the request to President Trump via FEMA.

In a statement provided to MPR News on Saturday, a FEMA spokesperson said:

“After a thorough review of Minnesota’s request for a major disaster declaration from extensive fire damage as a result of civil unrest in late May and early June, it was determined that the impact to public infrastructure is within the capabilities of the local and state governments to recover from. The governor has 30 days to appeal that decision.”

Tschann said Walz’s office is “exploring all options.”

The federal government's denial of the request from Walz, a Democrat, came a day after Republican U.S. Rep Tom Emmer of Minnesota sent a letter to Trump and other federal officials raising questions about the request.

While not stating opposition to Minnesota receiving federal money, Emmer asked that — in the wake of Walz's request — the Trump administration "undertake a thorough and concurrent review of my state's response to the violence."


TLDR: Trump to City - You burned this bed, you sleep in it.

When did Trump offer money? I know he offered the National Guard, but where is the money offer coming from?

That's the point, if the cities had accepted the NG, they wouldn't have $500 Million in damages to now pay for, and they wouldn't be demanding Trump pay for it.

Ballots will mysteriously all vote blue in November.

They were gonna anyway. Let em keep voting for the government they deserve, as long as they can't put me on the hook for paying when they fuck up. This is just a prelude of what will happen in the next decade when every single one of these dark blue metroplexes runs out of their taxpayer's money and just line up at the Federal trough assuming they can get it from there now....

I sorta love that nogs were allowed to literally chimp out and burn down towns, because they "feel grief" differently than everyone else, ergo they have a need to express it in a way that is destruction based.

Somewhere, in outer space, Yakub and Christoph Meiners, are high fiving, a mutual celebration of the human finally understanding the common negro.

It's exactly what happened in Baltimore in 2015. Democrats really do think of the melanated ones as savage hounds that don't care for the long term.

I guess the Majestic 12 really doesn't like the Twin Cities

Sorry for the people who lost everything but the governors and whoever else has to be responsible, not the federal government.

I don’t know why this came to mind when I read your comment.

I can’t say I’d blame anyone for not wanting to help. Why would you want to spend the money to try to fix something for a group of people who destroy more than they build? It’s like none of these nogs understood what “don’t shit where you eat” means.

 

[The Big O]

Mayor Frey and Governor Walz/Senator Klobuchar are still out there ripe for tarring and feathering, if the people of Minneapolis need the real culprits to blame. And give a little of that tough love to that ANTIFA anti-semite Keith Ellison and Somali hag Ilhan Omar, too.

They shouldn’t even consider rebuilding anything until after the court trial. If any charges are dropped or reduced, they’ll burn down whatever is left standing. If the officers are all convicted, they’ll celebrate by burning everything down anyway.

You talk like they need a reason to burn down shit.

You don't understand, it's now woke to say they can't process grief in the same way as white people can. You have to treat them with a soft and comforting hand, understanding they process emotional things with a greater propensity towards violent reactions. Like monkeys. You racist.

you trying to say they'd be better off asking the WWF than the feds?

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of needles and hobo shit and when the drains finally scab over, all the niggers will drown. The accumulated filth of all their SJW-ism and troonery will foam up about their waists and all the journos and politicians will look up and shout "Federal Aid!"... and I'll whisper "learn to code."

I've heard the idea floated out there that the "ABOLISH THE POLICE" narrative almost immediately became "DEFUND THE POLICE" so that Democratic mayors and city councils all over who are deep in the red from decades of gibs-spending and having corona-Chan smacking them around for good measure can divert funding to things like decaying infrastructure and shoring up the gibs while also pandering to the BLM and jogger demographics about how they've "fixed the police" and "did what you asked" by taking away their money, which is as good as disbanding them, right?

It was a ploy to cover billion-dollar budget shorftalls, and get votes, at the same time.

Too bad they, as they are wont to do, forgot to look more than 5 months ahead in time and couldn't see that a lack of police would cause Detroit-level urban decay to set in overnight so that even if they were to re-fund the police departments, it'd be too late to save the lost business and tourist revenue as nobody wants to visit a hellhole violent city and after kicking out the cops, nobody is going to want to come back and work for you.

It's certainly a theory that holds water.

It's idiocy. Because the moment you cut the Police by $1 Billion, your Tax Revenue goes down by $7 Billion overnight, as your primary taxpayers, your Rich Whales, go elsewhere as fast as they can.

Knowing how these fucking cities work, if any federal aid did get approved the funds would be run through some local bureau that gave massive payouts to any black-owned business with a broken window and kept a massive chunk for its own officials.

Sweet batch of sugar cookies, this is the kind of burn that will light my cigarettes for days!

So much for that "buildings can be rebuilt, things can be replaced, poeple cannot" excuse. Now only did these fools lose places and property, they lost more people than what they started with! This isn't a fucking game where you can restart with at least half of your gold and items. You just lose whatever you don't use or fight hard enough to keep. And even if this was a game, boy did you lose and then some.

Reminder, Dindus will still overwhelmingly vote Dem for more gibs.

I wouldn't count on it completely. There's been an uptick in conservative blacks on Youtube gaining traction and some hollyweird blacks risking their necks by going against BLM. November is all but confirmed going to be so crazy we'll beg for padded rooms built in every home.

 

[Richard Harrow]

War-torn shithole begging for fed bux while blacks and Antifa cucks continue to riot. One step closer to New Somalia. The Dems might actually pull this off.

Knowing how these fucking cities work, if any federal aid did get approved the funds would be run through some local bureau that gave massive small payouts to any black-owned business with a broken window and kept a massive chunk the majority for its own officials.

Fixed that for you.

War-torn shithole begging for fed bux while blacks and Antifa cucks continue to riot. One step closer to New Somalia. The Dems might actually pull this off.

As much as Trump and the GOP should keep a hard line on this, refusing this relief has terrible optics and the MSM will make sure everyone sees that without letting others remember how it got that bad in the first place.
