Ferguson said in a news release on Monday that the state’s January application for assistance was denied in a letter he received on Friday. The state’s application had met all of the criteria necessary to qualify, he said.
“This is another troubling example of the federal government withholding funding,” Ferguson, a Democrat, said. “Washington communities have been waiting for months for the resources they need to fully recover from last winter’s devastating storms, and this decision will cause further delay. We will appeal.”
On the one hand I’m glad I no longer live in Florida. FEMA was always getting denied by the governor and the policies are terrible.
On the other hand I now live in Oregon and love it. Some policies have even protected us. But if the big earthquake ever hits and there’s no FEMA for the state, it will become destitute.
