威斯康星州长埃弗斯炮轰特朗普政府:拒绝650万美元洪灾援助是"政治决定",灾民将被迫自掏腰包

威斯康星州州长托尼·埃弗斯10月13日严词抨击特朗普政府拒绝向威斯康星州北部多个社区提供联邦灾难援助。
事情源于2026年6月20日夜至21日晨的严重风暴、洪水与龙卷风,袭击了阿什兰、贝菲尔德、伯内特、道格拉斯、艾恩、普莱斯、索耶与沃什伯恩等县,损失估计超过650万美元。埃弗斯今年8月向联邦政府提交了"重大灾害声明"(Major Disaster Declaration)申请,特朗普政府近两个月没有回应,最终予以拒绝——拒绝信称,根据《斯塔福德法案》,"补充性联邦援助并无必要"。
埃弗斯10月12日在威斯康星公共广播(WPR)《Wisconsin Today》节目中直言这一决定是出于政治:"显然这全是政治。特朗普总统似乎在拿选举玩游戏……我很愤怒,因为这影响的不只是州政府,而是名单上的那些县。他们只能发债或动用本地资金,最终买单的是当地的房产税纳税人。"他还指出,受灾的县大多是特朗普赢下的县:"一位好总统会帮助投他票的人——不,他应该帮助所有人。"
埃弗斯表示,威斯康星紧急事务管理部门已联系联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)要求重新考虑。他同时透露,针对今年8月密尔沃基地区洪水的第二份援助申请仍在等待联邦答复。采访中,埃弗斯还回应了特朗普关于可能单方面干预、甚至取消2026年中期选举的说法,称"这不可接受",威斯康星将"在法庭上、在街头、在投票箱前"反击。
Evers Blasts Trump Administration for Denying Disaster Aid to Northern Wisconsin Communities
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers on October 13 blasted the Trump administration for denying federal disaster assistance to several northern Wisconsin communities hit by severe storms, flooding and tornadoes on the night of June 20 and morning of June 21, 2026. The administration denied Evers' request for a Major Disaster Declaration — submitted in August and left unanswered for nearly two months — determining that "supplemental federal assistance under the Stafford Act is not warranted." The denial leaves Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Sawyer and Washburn counties without federal help for more than $6.5 million in damages.
Speaking on Wisconsin Public Radio's "Wisconsin Today" on October 12, Evers called the denial political: "This is all political... I'm pissed, because this is going to impact those counties on the list. It's going to have to be paid one way or another, and the bottom line is it'll be the local property taxpayers that will be paying for this." He noted the affected counties are ones Trump won: "A good president would help the people that voted for him, if nothing else — but he would help all people." Evers said the state has urged FEMA to reconsider, and that a second request, covering August flooding in the Milwaukee area, remains pending. He also rejected Trump's suggestions of intervening in the 2026 midterm elections: "We will fight back in the courts, we will fight back on the streets, we will fight back at the ballot box."
