    Feds deny Walz's request for aid to rebuild after riots

    The federal government has denied Gov. Tim Walz’s request for aid to
    help rebuild and repair Twin Cities structures that were damaged in
    the unrest following George Floyd’s death.

    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.”

    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.

    The Walz administration conducted a preliminary damage assessment that
    found nearly $16 million of eligible damages related to fires. The
    federal funds would have been used to reimburse local governments for
    repairs and debris removal.


    I don't want a dime of my taxes going to this, they allowed the
    terrorism let them pay for it.

    Exactly. They blatantly refused to put a stop to it. Let those
    who elected these cowards foot the bill.
