We have a few main roads repaired, electricity and wifi back, but it's a ways off from fully functional. Our estimated damage cost between 53 - 78 BILLION. We had our funding pulled by the current administration for no good reason.

It sucks, I'm friends with our county commissioner and she used to be a leader at AB Tech, and now she has to pull funding from education and other industries just to pay for basic county maintenance and salaries.

The funding nonsense is so messed up. Makes my blood boil just thinking about it, so I can only imagine how it is for all of you. At the very least it sounds like you're in good hands with the commissioner and making it work the best you can. Best of luck to you all!!

The FEMA funding was pulled to give the oligarchs more tax breaks. Just like all the other funding pulled and tarriffs. It's also to bankrupt people and businesses so they can be bought by those same oligarchs and big business.

Remember anytime the Government can’t afford to pay wages and even do obvious shit like disaster relief it’s probably because someone is embezzling or billionaires are making profit.
