Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said this week the Trump administration denied disaster assistance to his state after May flooding.

A statement issued by his office Wednesday said the administration did not approve assistance to the state for flooding that occurred in May, even though the state’s estimated damage put it above the threshold it would need to reach to get assistance.


“The devastating floods that hit Western Maryland in May clearly met disaster assistance criteria established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These communities demonstrated a clear need through FEMA’s own process, and Maryland will appeal the decision to seek all available resources to support the recovery efforts,” Moore said in the statement.

No surprise at all. We know, from his first term, that he divides the states by those that voted for him and those that don't. It's one of the first things he mentions when he talks about a state.

Like everything else "dem" I bet the "estimate" was bogus.....Cost to repair using union labor, minority contractors, etc.....Gotta get those kickbacks you know.

There's always a "grift percentage" to deal with as far as blue states go.....Look at NY and CA.

The dems made that bed themselves.

The Francis Scott Key bridge will not be rebuilt until the end of 1928. America today. Can't Do! The Japanese would have had it up and running by now. Not us. Can't Do. We are a disgrace. Other nations have surpassed us in construction, buildings, industrial projects and more. Can't Do. A major artery led by the decades of endless Prog Socialist agendas and we see the results on the costs and time to get things done from it. Can't Do.

I said the very day it happened that it would be a very long time before it was replaced just due to the blue state it was in.

Expect cost overruns out the kazoo and mandated union labor for the kickbacks. It will be MD's grift machine for some time to come if it's left the way it is.

Hopefully Trump steps in on this one too now that FJB is gone as far as federal reconstruction funds for the bridge go.

A Union-Only Key Bridge Rebuild Discriminates Against Local Workers

President Joe Biden's promise, supported by Gov. Wes Moore, to rebuild the Key Bridge with union labor will sideline nearly 90 percent of the local workforce, raising costs and delaying the project. Without this policy of favoritism, non-union workers and private developers could harness local...

Totally different repair I know but had this project been in a blue state I suspect the dems would still be "working" on it with grift no-end.

It is more about whether or not they have a current democratic governor as they have also stonewalled North Carolina on some aid.

Trump will only award help to red states all others will do without, yet MAGATs say nothing for their fellow Americans like when it happened under Biden, hypocrisy at its finest.

Western North Carolina can say the same.
