LEAD PATRIOT | By Jessica Ripple | February 24, 2021
‘Political payback’ is a legitimate question, here. The White House nor FEMA explained why the State of Texas’s request for a Statewide disaster declaration was rejected. In recent history, states have been able to make that same declaration with lesser damages but millions of Texans went without power for a substantial amount of time but a declaration for aid was rejected by the Biden administration. Biden apparently conveyed he wants a more specific list of areas hit. Biden approved disaster relief for only 77 of Texas’ 254 counties. Now state officials will need to gather that information from the counties that were left without:
“The White House has left open the possibility of further designations, and state officials said Saturday they will gather data from the counties omitted from the initial declaration to support the state’s request.
“The governor requested a federal disaster declaration, the president asked his team to expedite that and FEMA determined where the counties should be, where it should focus the immediate resources, where the counties that are hardest hit, so that they can make sure they get the people in most need,” Psaki said on ABC’s “This Week.””
Governor Abbott still expressed gratitude for what was given even though Biden’s move really infuriated Texan taxpayers who’ve suffered without a word for their president about what will be done:
“I thank President Biden for his assistance as we respond to impacts of winter weather across our state,” Abbott said in a statement Saturday. “Texas will continue to work with our federal partners to ensure all eligible Texans have access to the relief they need. The funds provided under the Major Disaster Declaration may provide crucial assistance to Texans as they begin to repair their homes and address property damage.”
Additional designations “may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments,” the White House said. Texas Division Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd wants all 254 counties to document damages. County by county, dollar by dollar, Kidd is confident that all counties in Texas will meet the government’s threshold.
