The BearWaters brewery in western North Carolina remains in disrepair three months post-Hurricane Helene, highlighting an urgent need for disaster relief amidst ongoing political clashes.
Residents and local businesses are caught in a political power struggle, with requests for aid ignored in favor of partisan political maneuvers that strip power from Democrats.
Art O'Neil, owner of BearWaters, illustrates the frustration many feel: 'It would just make me sick to think that we have to suffer because of politics.'
Despite nearly $877 million in disaster aid previously approved, local pleas for additional support have gone largely unheeded, leaving businesses like BearWaters struggling.
