States Left Paying Storm Bill | New York City News
Description
New York and New Jersey are left holding the bill for a crippling February blizzard after FEMA denied their latest appeals for over $250 million in federal disaster aid—leaving states to foot the entire cost. The governors blame political retaliation, citing President Trump’s prior override of FEMA’s initial approval in July, while White House officials deny any partisan motive and argue the states can afford it. Democratic lawmakers from both states are rallying behind their governors, accusing the administration of weaponizing disaster relief and calling for investigations into how federal funds are being distributed.
