The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced Louisiana would be receiving $1.7 billion in federal relief hurricane funds to cover the state's needs concerning hurricane Laura and Delta from 2020 and Ida from last year 2021, $450 million will go to Louisiana's south west region to cover the needs that followed Laura and Delta.
Louisiana's governor John B. Edwards and U.S.Senator Bill Cassidy announced the new funding. And once again it is a democratic administration in Washington that responds to the state's needs. Cassidy, Kennedy, Scalise and the rest of Louisiana's republican delegation in Congress failed to influence Trump and the republicans in congress to fund those needs in 2020 when hurricane Laura and Delta took place on their watch.
President Biden's administration has now provided funds for all three hurricanes that hit Louisiana in 2020 and 2021. For those who follow politics it was never in doubt that the funds would be available because democratic administrations govern with policy and plans that address issues while the GOP govern by ideology, and a extreme ideology to boot.
John B. Edwards turned Louisiana around for the better after former governor Bobby Jindal failed the state. And President Biden has turned around America for the better after he defeated Trump and the traitorous GOP and their failed administration. And that really says it all.
