From Flat Rock to Capitol Hill, NC Gov. Stein Advocates for Additional Helene Recovery Funds
Stein says that the process of recovering after a natural disaster was never an easy one, but added roadblocks by the Trump administration, such as funds held up by DOGE and FEMA’s cancellation of their BRIC program, only make matters worse for the people affected by the storm and local governments trying to rebuild. Faced with these additional hurdles, local governments are having to come up with the missing funds, leading to the slower progression, halting, or outright cancellation of projects.
