Kristi Noem caught using FEMA disaster relief funds to do favors for donors.

[Crepitus]

For months, the complaints have rolled in from parts of the country hit by natural disasters: The Federal Emergency Management Agency was moving far too slowly in sending aid to communities ravaged by floods and hurricanes, including in central Texas and North Carolina. Many officials were blaming Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, whose agency oversees FEMA.

“I can’t get phone calls back,” Ted Budd, the Republican senator from North Carolina, told a newspaper this month, describing his attempts to reach Noem’s office. “I can’t get them to initiate the money. It’s just a quagmire.” The delays were caused in part by a new policy announced by DHS that requires Noem’s personal sign-off on expenses over $100,000, several news outlets reported.

But records obtained by ProPublica show how one locality found a way to get FEMA aid more quickly: It asked one of Noem’s political donors for help.

The records show that Noem quickly expedited more than $11 million of federal money to rebuild a historic pier in Naples, Florida, after she was contacted by a major financial supporter last month. The pier is a tourist attraction in the wealthy Gulf Coast enclave and was badly damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022.

Frustrated city officials had been laboring for months, without success, to get disaster assistance. But just two weeks after the donor stepped in, they were celebrating their sudden change of fortune. “We are now at warp speed with FEMA,” one city official wrote in an email. A FEMA representative wrote: “Per leadership instruction, pushing project immediately.”

Along with fast-tracking the money, Noem flew to Naples on a government plane to tour the pier herself. She then stayed for the weekend and got dinner with the donor, local cardiologist Sinan Gursoy, at the French restaurant Bleu Provence, according to records and an interview with the Naples mayor. This account is based on text messages and emails ProPublica obtained through public records requests.

Rewarding donors while those who suffered losses in disasters can't get the aid they need and then making a vacation out of it.

That's just the tRumplings all over.

Basically "**** the normal people, we only help out fellow rich folks".'

Campaign donor? What office did she run for?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

You sound jel-jel.

Trump’s is a corrupt and lawless regime – this is further proof of that fact.

 

[PeterPilot]

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Politicians are the same, no matter which wing of the Uniparty they claim as their own.

LOL DId you happen to research this "donor?"

Wow, this sounds a lot like the last story, totally fabricated and makes me real glad I'm wearing my boots. This is the Republicans, not Adam Shitt, Nanny Pelosi, or China spies or any communist mayor. It's not even Barney Franks who is always frank with his frank. More like another January 6th false flag. And what's this months shit? "Normal people" It's about time repugs get a little gratification and dems are tagged as the tea bagging bat shit crazies they are and always been.

And Biden paid sedition hunters through taxpayer money to try to hinder Trump‘s campaign. So which one do you want to look into first?
