Hurricane Matthew, which occurred in September 2016 caused over 15 billion dollars in damage. The state of North Carolina requested almost a billion dollars in federal aid for Hurricane Matthew recovery. The Trump administration is granting about 6 million. What do you even do with 6million dollars?
NC was instrumental in delivering Trump the electoral victory 49.8 to 46.2
No more of that government teat sucking. Gotta elect a democrat if you want help.

The governor had worked with Sen. Thom Tillis and Representatives David Price (D) and Rep. David Rouzer (R) in April to come up with a request to Congress to help cover the costs associated with the destruction left by Matthew.
The $929 million requested would have been used to “help communities and families fix homes, repair businesses and recover from the historic flooding,” Cooper said.
“Families across Eastern North Carolina need help to rebuild and recover, and it is an incredible failure by the Trump Administration and Congressional leaders to turn their backs,” said Cooper said in a statement released to the press. “Matthew was a historic storm and we are still working every day to help families return home and rebuild their communities. North Carolinians affected by this storm cannot be ignored by the Trump Administration and Congressional leadership, and I will continue to work with our Congressional delegation to get North Carolina residents affected by the storm the help they deserve.”
Six million dollars is like a purposeful slap in the face. Better to have denied it outright. I guess that's what you have to lose
