West, TX turned down for more FEMA aid. TEXAS HAS THE MONEY TO FUND THE RECOVERY!

When the federal government declined to give Texas officials all the disaster aid they sought after a deadly fertilizer plant explosion here in April, it not only outraged local leaders struggling to rebuild but also raised another, politically thornier issue.

TEXAS BILLS ITSELF AS A VERY SUCCESSFUL STATE WITH LOTS OF MONEY!  They chose to ignore regulations and oversight which could have prevented the explosion of the fertilizer factory.  Texas has the money to rebuild the town, why as the middle class taxpayer like me to pay for a mess which was preventable when THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS BILLIONS SITTING IN ACCOUNTS COLLECTING INTEREST.
