Who's afraid of the big bad Guv?

 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday blasted the Biden administration for seemingly finding ways to “thumb their nose at Florida,” announcing his move to appeal the administration’s denial for individual assistance for those displaced by tornadoes in two Florida counties.
DeSantis held the press conference in Fort Myers, directly addressing the Biden administration denying federal assistance after  EF1 and EF2 tornadoes struck both Lee and Charlotte counties last month, leaving many in dire straits. Many residents are still left cleaning up debris and have been displaced, struggling to find stable housing given the combination of rampant inflation and homes being in high demand in the Sunshine State.

After the tornadoes struck, DeSantis said, the Florida Department of Emergency Management deployed disaster and recovery staff, which conducted and did damage assessment with both Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA). DeSantis also declared a State of Emergency to “unlock our request to the Biden administration for individual assistance.”

“Unfortunately, that request was denied,” DeSantis said before blasting the Biden administration for that decision, denying the needed aid.

“These things should be above politics when people have needs like this. And if you look kind of, since Biden’s been president, it seems like whatever they can do to thumb their nose at Florida. You know they try to do it,” he said.
