Despite the Democratic MPs escaped and handled the important relief efforts, the flood relief of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott was faster than the LA Wildfier’s response to the Democratic Governor Gaviner Newsom.
At the end of this week, Abbott helped introduce more than 60 families of the most affected families from the horrific floods in the Texas Hill country with $ 25,000 relief check, which the Governor still called an initial “down payment” on the relief to come.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Abbott reported that Funds were resulting in Texas’s partnership with the country’s music giant George Strait and other private groups, to ensure that the funds raised by the star went directly to those who suffered the worst loss.
Abbott said that both he and Strait agreed ,These people need speed to help as soon as possible. ,

Despite the Democratic MPs escaped and handled the important relief efforts, the flood relief of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott was faster than the LA Wildfier’s response to the Democratic Governor Gaviner Newsom. ,
,We have seen in other states when there have been travasties happening there, such as a fire in California, and so much money was raised and never found those who needed it, we want to make sure that this did not happen in the state of Texas, “Abbott explained.
He said, “Texas organizations have been supported to help the people of this state,” he said. “Now our job is to ensure that it gets into the hands of those who need the most.”
It comes more than a month later when Central Texas suffered a devastating flood, killing more than 100 and destroyed houses and businesses.
In response to Strait, a native of Texas, Strait organized a concert on 27 July, to raise funds for those most affected. Just two weeks later, the victims are already getting relief check from the concert.
Abbott said that Strait was insisting that “he was doing this for a reason, because he was ill and tired of those who were damaged and have suffered the most due to the storm, they are not getting the money they need.”
California began a redistribution fight to ‘zero’ for the Texas GOP scheme with Dames designed to achieve 5 seats.

“So, what we did, did an operation to ensure that we are able to identify who has maintained the worst loss, then make sure that they would be at the end of these checks,” they explained.
Strait’s concert closely resembles a similar star-staded benefits concert, titled “Firiad”, which raised more than $ 100 million for wildfire victims in Los Angeles.
Firead billed himself as a benefit concert for wildfire victims. In addition to music from the choice of Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry and Olivia Rodrigo, the five -hour show showed several stories of the victims of Altadeena and Palisads Fire who lost their homes.
Fox News Digital reported in July that after six months, the victims in the most affected neighborhood of the city have still not received any direct money raised by the concert.
In a statement by Fox News Digital, a spokesperson of the fireid told Fox News Digital that “most effectively to provide assistance to the community as soon as possible, we participated with local non -profit local non -profit organizations that had the ability to reach individuals in direct needs and infrastructure.”
The spokesperson said, “This aid provided directly to individuals in food security, housing, resources for schools and affected communities.”

He said that till date, Firead has “funded the organizations that help people on the ground for a total of two rounds of about $ 75 million and expected to distribute the remaining $ 25 million by the end of the year.”
“Funds address immediate requirements from individuals in our communities with immediate financial assistance, with immediate financial assistance, childcare, groceries, mental health and residence of housing and public places along with the prevention of fire. The grant has been distributed to more than 160 frontline non -profit organizations, schools and local organizations, which were identified and selected by FireDi.”
Abbott claimed that many factors were much different from California for the Texas flood disaster.
“It begins with generosity … but the second thing is that we do not let things slow down. We are very sympathetic with those who have lost their homes, whose life has been reverse, who are trying to go back to their homes,” he said. “So, we were all able to cut through red tape and make sure the money was found in the hands of those who needed it most.”
He said that “Now we are working with local governments to ensure that these people are going to be able to take these dollars, these resources, and actually start that construction process to rebuild their homes.”
It comes despite the ongoing demonstration of the governor with the Democrat at the Texas House of Representatives, which fled from the state and brought the efforts of the Legislature to pass the efforts to grind new flood relief measures. Fled to the state to protest against the resettlement of Democrats plans, which would potentially give Republicans five additional seats in the Congress.

Governor and other state leaders, including Texas Attorney General Kane Pasteton and House Leader Dustin Beroz, have taken legal action to arrest evil MPs and threatened to remove them from their offices. Thus, however, the Democrats are able to catch any progress by refusing the quorum required to avoid Texas officials and the state house to pass the law.
,We are able to give this to the victims, even though we have Democrats who have fled from the state and are dishonest for our state, “Abbott said,” ,One thing about Texas is that we stand and fight if we have principles on which we want to fight. And what these Democrats have done, they fled from the kingdom, and it is very un-texon on their part. ,
He said that “we will get financial resources to those who need it, but in the meantime we are working to provide more support for them.”
He said, “He said, there are laws that need to be passed, such as creating an initial warning system, such as ensuring what we are in flood areas, and what are such things. This requires these democrats back and vote,” he explained.

“Know that the government’s gear is being slowed and denied to improve the reaction of this disaster because Democrats are not showing and doing their work,” he said. “Therefore, despite the fact that we have a group of cowardly democrats, who change the tail and run out of the state and to do our work here, my main focus is that I am helping my time and attention to the flood victims of this tragedy, to ensure that they are getting the resources that they need and we can speed up their lives.”
