Hochul contests Trump storm aid denial
Governor Kathy Hochul has appealed President Trump’s denial of federal disaster aid for the February blizzard in New York, arguing that FEMA validated over $79 million in damages, exceeding the $39 million threshold. Despite FEMA’s assessment and documentation of more than $168 million in damages, the request was denied, marking the first time Trump refused a New York disaster aid request after FEMA’s approval. The storm caused widespread power outages, five deaths, and significant damages across 22 counties.
