You can repair a damaged bridge but there's no such thing for this Relief Fund. They'll find there's a special place in hell for those that scam the good hearted generosity of the public.

They need to sue

charlieharry.bsky.social•6 days ago

And the poor families (who deserve the money, who donors wanted the money to go too) were shafted! This country is going to hell without the hand-basket because the unethical majority in this country stole it!!! Give them their money!!!

Let me guess. This was a 'Republican' run relief effort? If so, did anyone believe they wouldn't screw people out of the money?

"$1 million to Associated Catholic Charities to establish a human services center in Dundalk" is pretty suspect. Look at their annual report and see if you can figure out where the money goes. 13% is PR and admin, and $121M is "salaries and benefits." OK, so how much is benefits?

I guess FL Gov Ron DeSantis wife, gave pointers on how to steal from victims under the guise of tragedy.

The $100+ million for hurricane victims are still waiting after 3 years

Relief is for victims and others affected directly.
No one else would need “relief”.

I sent money to the fund the construction company set up.

What white people and power screw over the the working people you don’t fucking say shocker how merikkkan of them

kylebeni.bsky.social•6 days ago

They got $10M from the O’s and Ravens and decided the families didn’t deserve that.

Yet the $1M from the city is already going to run out.

They could’ve done both. But to not give the families one penny and a museum exhibit half a million? Gross.

So sad these ppl deserve more

rwruedii.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sorry, a museum exhibit on the event should not be more important than the families of those who died in the accident.

I highly doubt the government's relief fund could cover all the costs.

rwruedii.bsky.social•3 days ago

From what I've looked up, the government relief fund is starting to run dry.

Because of the combination of this and community pressure the key bridge foundation fund is now reconsidering their previous decisions regarding those who were injured or died in the accident.

Disgusting.

mouse63.bsky.social•6 days ago
