In case anyone thought denial of disaster relief was going to be just for the south and just for hurricane flooding, y’all up north apparently won’t get any to help with record breaking snow storms, either.
The request from Pennsylvania for help with the storm in March was completely denied.
In his request letter sent to the Trump Administration, Governor Wolf cited: costs to local municipalities that significantly exceeded their snow removal budgets; transportation issues such as preemptive road closures including major interstates; record-breaking snowfall in nine counties; and storm conditions that generated significant life-safety issues requiring a variety of critical resource and support needs, such as rescue and evacuation of stranded motorists, wrecker service with recovery staff, generators and transportation of emergency workers.
Does anyone have any other states to report.
So far NC got 0.6566% and I suppose we should be glad we got $6.1M to dangle in front of some lucky person, too bad Trump’s golf course wasn’t in the declared disaster area that would make it easy to decide who should get it out of all those effected.
At least we didn’t get nada like PA!
So I guess this is the new normal, and given the topsy turvy world we live in, unlike Bush and Katrina this will probably push 45* into above water approval ratings for the rest of time. Getting a bit meta. One more of these and this place will probably become predominately pro Trump if the fighting on the NC diary is any indication of how popular these decisions are among the supposedly progressive. Maybe I should learn how to bake an Atlantic Beach Pie.
