Texas governor outpacing Newsom in disaster response despite Dem mutiny slowing progress

Although Democratic lawmakers flee and get vital relief efforts, the relief of the Republican Governor in Texas Greg Abbott was faster than the response of California Democratic Governor Gavin New Roosom to Los Angeles fires.

At the end of this week, ABBOTT helped provide more than 60 of the families most affected by the catastrophic floods in Texas Hill with a $ 25,000 relief checks, on which the ruler called the initial “batch” of relief that is still incoming.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, ABBOTT explained that the money was the result of the Texas partnership with the legend of countryside music George Mudik and other special groups to ensure that the money collected by the star went directly to those who suffered from the worst harm.

Abbott said that he and Street agreed to the presence of a “You need a speed to help these people as soon as possible. “

ABBOTT says special sessions for the sake, he says fleeing Democrats may face “literally years”.

“We have seen in other states when there were tracts that occurred there, such as the fires in California, and a lot of money has been collected and did not reach the people they needed, we want to make sure that this did not happen in Texas, “Abbott explained.

“There was an flow to support Texas organizations to help the people of this state,” he added. “Now our mission is to make sure it reaches the hands of the people who need it more than others.”

This comes after a little more than a month after a lot of Texas suffered from a devastating flood that killed more than 100 homes and companies that destroy.

In response to the suffering, the strait of the Strait, a Texas citizen, a concert on July 27 to raise funds for those most influential. Just two weeks later, the victims are already receiving relief checks from the party.

Abbott said that the strait was insisting that “he was doing this for one reason, because he was sick and tired of the people who were damaged and harmed more than the storm did not get the money they needed.”

“So, what we did, we have prepared an operation to make sure we were able to determine who was exposed to the worst harm, then make sure they will be at the recipient of these checks,” he explained.

The Street concert is similar to the star inlaid, entitled “Fireaid”, in California, which raised more than $ 100 million to the victims of forest fires in Los Angeles.

Fireaid described itself as a “concert for the Hashim victims”. Regardless of the music written by Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Katie Perry and Olivia Rodrigo, the show for five hours has shown multiple stories from the victims of Altadina and Palisades that lost their homes.

Fox News Digital said in July that after six months, the victims are still in the city’s most affected neighborhoods in the city who did not receive any direct money collected by the concert.

In a statement of Fox News Digital, a Fireaid Fox News Digital spokesman told a spokesman for the Fireaid Fox News Digital that “to provide aid to society more effectively as quickly as possible, we have partnership with the local non -profit organizations that were examined and reliable and that had the ability and infrastructure to access the individuals in need directly.”

“This assistance provided food security, housing and resources for schools and more directly for individuals in affected societies,” said a spokesman.

They said that until now, Fireaid has distributed two rounds of financing, which reached a total of $ 75 million to organizations that help people on the ground and expect to distribute the remaining $ 25 million remaining by the end of the year. ”

“Funds deal with the urgent needs of individuals in our societies – from immediate financial assistance, to child care, groceries, mental health, housing and rebuilding public places, as well as fire prevention. Grants were distributed to more than 160 non -profit organizations in the confrontation line.”

Abbott claimed that several factors made Texas’s response to the flood disaster completely different from California.

“It begins with generosity … but the second thing is that we do not let things slow down. We are very sympathetic to those who lost their homes, who turned their lives upside down, and who are trying to return to their homes,” he said. “Therefore, we were able to penetrate all the red tape and make sure that the money has reached the hands of those who need it more than others.”

“We are now working with local governments to ensure that these people will be able to take these dollars, these resources, and in fact this construction process begins to rebuild their homes.”

This comes despite the ongoing confrontation with the ruler with the Democrats in the House of Representatives in Texas, who fled the state and brought the efforts of the legislative body to pass new measures to relief floods to stop grinding. Democrats escaped from the state in protest against plans to re -divide the circles that would give Republicans five additional seats in congress.

The ruler and other state leaders, including the Texas Pact Prosecutor, and the leader of the House of Representatives, Dustin Buroz, both Republicans, raised a legal measure to arrest rogue legislators and threatened to remove them from their offices. However, so far, Democrats have been able to evade the Texas authorities and make any progress by depriving the House of Representatives of the legal quorum necessary to pass legislation.

““We are able to give this to the victims, although we have democrats who fled the state and were scary to our country,” said Abbott, adding. “One thing about Texas is that we stand and fight if we have principles we want to fight. What these Democrats did, fled from the state, and this is very non -Texas on their part.

“We will get the financial resources for those who need them, but we are also working on providing greater assistance to them in the meantime,” he said.

“However, there are laws that need to be approved, such as creating early warning systems, such as making sure that we change the rules in the flooding areas, and things like this. This will require these democrats who show reserves.”

“Know that government gears to improve the response to this disaster is slowed down and deprived because the Democrats do not appear and do their work.” Therefore, despite the fact that we have a group of cowardly Democrats who turned their tail and running out and from here to do their work, my main focus that I put on my time and take care of it is to help the flood victims of this tragedy to make sure they are getting the resources they need, and therefore we can accelerate the reconstruction process in restoring their lives as soon as possible. “

A spokesman for the Newscom Fox News Digital office directed a press conference with many Democrats in Texas, including the representative of the state, Ann Johnson, who claimed during the event that democratic lawmakers were “awaiting this issue” from the relief of floods for two weeks, but “they put only one bill for us to discuss in the House of Representatives and that it was redistricious.”

Johnson said: “We have an arrest warrant for us to return to Texas for only one law. They do not want us to return to the floods,” Johnson said.

The Republicans were accused of “using these families as distraction,” saying, “The ruler can write a check at the present time to try to start the process, and therefore his decision is valuable to him.”

Johnson suggested that the Democrats “will appear delightly” to treat floods, school tests, human trafficking, or the court’s infrastructure, but not to vote to re -divide the departments.

Fox News Digital also communicates with Texas House Democratic Caucus for comment but he did not receive a response by publishing time.
