As Florida (and other states) still recover from hurricanes and disasters - where does FEMA money go????

[Sancho]

Most of us in Florida know that DeSatan played Little League baseball (he's a fan of the sport), and the repubs here love grift and donations from the elite while letting taxpayers pay for stadiums. They also manage to do some urban engineering with stadiums and move out the undesirable minority or immigrants populations who vote for the Democrats. Now FEMA is going to help repair the stadium, while many are still not back in their homes.

FEMA to reimburse $16.5 million toward Tropicana Field repairs

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has earmarked $16.5 million for repairs to the hurricane-damaged Tropicana Field.

St. Petersburg Assistant City Administrator Tom Greene let City Council members know in an email Tuesday about the expected reimbursement, calling it “an extremely promising step in the process.” He said the $16.5 million is based on estimated costs to date less any insurance collected.

Greene attached to his email a press release from FEMA dated Jan. 30 touting a $480 million federal package to support more than 500 disaster recovery projects throughout the state. Funding for the Trop is specifically mentioned.

Hurricane Milton in October 2024 tore the Trop’s roof off, rendering it unplayable. The Rays spent their 2025 season at the spring training home of their division rival New York Yankees at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

1. Trump's FEMA approved $7.7 mil to restore 9 holes of golf course in Asheville NC

Outrageous when there are still vitally important bridges and transportation projects pending and many homeowners are still waiting for FEMA to approve buyouts of their destroyed homes.

"The latest round of federal funding — $29 million — is on its way from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to Western North Carolina to reimburse cities, towns and state agencies for Tropical Storm Helene recovery projects.

The biggest portion of the funds, $7.7 million dollars, is going toward rebuilding the Muni, the municipal golf course in East Asheville.

“I am grateful for Secretary Noem working with me to more regularly approve reimbursements for Helene and past disaster recovery projects,” U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) said in a Dec. 5 statement, referring to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem."
