Texas power outages

[Moveon]

I thought the ice storm was the root cause. And I don’t think Mr Cruz is allowed to request FEMA assistance .
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5207 (the Stafford Act) §401 states in part that: "All requests for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State

Why would the TX GOP Governor want to ask the Feds for help as he wanted the State of TX to be independent so that the Federal Government could not regulate them. How did that work out for Texans?

Cruz is the Senior Senator from the State of TX has all eyes on him as well as the TX governor. Cruz finally admitted that he screwed up.
