Lawmakers questioned why HUD kicked off a funding process for 17 states affected by disasters — but left out Puerto Rico.
This entire administration lacks any empathy or compassion
This article fails to even mention the financial control board overseeing PR, and how/if that might factor into the situation.
I thought it did mention the guy in charge and he was found to be an honest capable man. Might have been a different agency in PR and the FCB but still not a reason for this to have occurred other than the trump administration and their bias towards brown skinned people.
@silverotter11 Agreed. Actually, I would tend to think with that board in place there would be even less of a reason to hold up the funding. But maybe it wouldn't have any say over those funds. I don't know. It's more a criticism of the journalism than anything else.
@bingst Yeah, the facts, easy to understand without any opinions would be nice. But the group in DC understands the benefit of chaos, half truths and lies.
