The federal government has denied a request from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for funds to rebuild North Star State following the George Floyd riots that inflicted wide-scale destruction in the Twin Cities.
Walz's spokesman Teddy Tschann confirmed that the request for federal aid was denied, as reported in The Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state's history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through," Tschann said in a statement.
"The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help Minnesota rebuild after civil unrest damaged public infrastructure and caused extensive fire damage in the wake of George Floyd's death," Tschann said.
Walz had petitioned President Donald Trump on July 2 to declare parts of Minnesota as a "major disaster" due to the extensive damage to public infrastructure caused by rioting.

Good. Governor and mayor acting like a spoiled kid who broke their own toys and want mommy and daddy to buy new ones.
Good!!!!
After it worked out so well in Baltimore a few years back, how could it possibly have been a mistake to let things get out of hand?
Nothing will motivate the voters/tax payers more than to be denied federal funds. Change leadership and fix your problems locally. Federal money is not and should not be designated for this kind of thing. I feel sorry for the innocents but they need to make the change.
Northwest Woodsman: Payback is a bit#h is it not Gov?
Minn. got what it deserved.
This $$ should be taken from every Democrat in Minneapolis and the state, the ones who voted for the leadership they now have that decided to sacrifice the city. Everybody who didn't vote Democrat should be absolved of any financial responsibility.
Yup. That about sums it up!Oh well...too bad....so sad. Let those who made the mess clean it up
Great decision. The Locals voted in these Democrat nut cases now don't like what they got. Their responsibility for the destruction not the Federal government tax dollars.
They need to suck it up and bear the burden. Get Soros and the billionaires pay for it since they supported it. Also the millionaire Democrats which supported the violence and encouraged it.
Let the little incest Terrorist from Somalia fix it. You know. DESTROY AMERICA'S economy.
Thank you mr president liberals have to learn the hard way.
I am so exited about this. Especially since it happened to a swing state.
GREAT!!! Why should we, the taxpayers, pay for the crimes the mayor let go on? That's on the city, not the people.
Well stated. A shame it’s such a perfect comparison.
Send the bill to George Soros....
