Loading ...Tens of billions in Hurricane Helene aid to start by March 21
Congress set a deadline of March 21 to hand out the money when it passed a $100 billion disaster relief package on Dec. 21. The late September storm cut a swath from Florida’s Big Bend across eastern Georgia and upstate South Carolina before causing historic flooding in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
At a news conference in Atlanta on Wednesday, Rollins pledged the aid would begin to be disbursed before the deadline.
“That money will begin to move in the next few weeks,” she said.
It’s QUITE the disgrace that significant assistance is only now forecast to flow to the victims of the SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 hurricane that hit Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina & Georgia. That’s SIX (6) months since the tragic event — Joe Biden and the Democrats should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!!!
