Congressman Tim Moore Reassures North Carolina on Hurricane Helene Recovery Amidst Governor Stein's $10 Billion Request
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has requested an additional $10 billion in federal aid for Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, marking two years since the storm devastated Western North Carolina. The requested funds include $3 billion for rebuilding dams and municipal roads, $1.5 billion for economic recovery, and another $3 billion for home rebuilding and lost housing stock. This request comes despite previous substantial federal investments in the state's recovery. Republican Congressman Tim Moore has publicly stated his confidence in the Trump administration's commitment to these recovery efforts, countering Governor Stein's criticism of President Trump regarding earlier comments about relief funds. Moore emphasized that the entire North Carolina congressional delegation, across both Republican and Democratic parties, views Helene recovery as a vital issue and believes Capitol Hill leadership is responsive to their needs.
