California
Governor Jerry Brown Asks President Trump for Help
by AWR Hawkins 12 Feb 2017
On Friday, California
Governor Jerry Brown sought federal help from President Trump by asking
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
declare “a major disaster” in California in light of the damage done
by recent storms.
The East
Bay Times reports: “Brown formally requested the declaration for
the series of storms striking the state between Jan. 3 and Jan. 12.” He noted
that “heavy rains, winds and snow, particularly in Northern California, left
eight people dead and knocked out power to an estimated 1 million Californian homes
and businesses.”
Brown’s request comes as Gov. Brown has challenged the
Trump administration on climate change, immigration, Obamacare, and other issues.
Other Democrat officials in California have been open about
their refusal to comply with Trump administration orders regarding illegal
immigration. San Francisco’s police chief,
sheriff, and mayor all made clear they would not enforce Trump’s
immigration order, long before the order was taken to court. The San Francisco
Police Department went so far as to cut ties with an FBI counter-terrorism task
force in order to prevent officers from being involved in action that targeted illegals.
And California’s highest law enforcement agent, Attorney General Xavier Becerra,
has been very open about his determination to fight Trump’s policies as part of
the larger effort to retain sanctuary policies
that harbor illegal aliens in the state.
But Gov. Brown would like some federal funds to help
out in the short term, so he is asking the Trump administration for help.
Notably, Gov. Brown also used his “State of the
State” address earlier this year to welcome Trump’s
commitment to infrastructure spending.
