## Resource

New Jersey’s bid for $84 million in federal disaster aid after a brutal February snowstorm has been denied, leaving the state to shoulder nearly $100 million in damages alone. Governor Sherrill blames President Trump for overriding FEMA experts and using disaster funds politically, especially against Democratic-led states. The White House counters that there’s no politicization and insists New Jersey has the resources—and should first handle recovery itself. With 15 deaths and widespread power outages, the state appealed twice but was turned down, even as Senators Booker and Kim called the decision unjust. This case fuels a wider debate over how disaster relief is distributed—and whether political affiliation plays a role in funding decisions.
