Steve Flora, Weather Service Brooks joins us live in Minneapolis Good Morning to you good morning. Steve lets take you back to a couple months ago, after the arrest of George Floyd in Minneapolis, that your salon was three days away from reopening

and rioters and looters torched your place right. Yes, yes, they did- and I was reading this morning that apparently you had spray painted, or somebody had spray painted on the outside of your salon, Black owned in hopes that that would help right, yes, Steve! Well, what happened that night? I get a call that my place is on fire. I had like two buildings there and when I get there, it was just up. I mean just fire fire everywhere everywhere, just blazing Steve right and pretty much completely destroyed, and now they they demolished it. The city did and sent you a bill for how much its over two hundred thousand. Do you have that money? No, I do not. No, I do not Steve its going to cost you a million dollars, and that is your

dream to reopen the salon that has been in your family for decades. Yes, yes, yes, after the rioting and looting and torturing your place, you had the governor, you had Amy Klobuchar, they came because there were tv cameras there and what did they do when they were talking to you about trying to get balk in business? We are going to help. You were going to get you rebuilt, you know, dont worry they came by. It was like a drive by Steve. They were there because there were tv cameras, floor raft that was four months ago, and what have they done for you since nothing, zero, zero, nothing Steve so last month I understand Ivanka Trump and the vice president. Both went to the site of your business and what did they tell you?

They told me they are going to get my business rebuilt, get it up and running the vice president told me: dont worry, youre going to be rebuilt, im going to make sure you rebuild. He told me that on Wednesday night too, not to worry, he is going to make sure that I get back up running. So you know just waiting and im sure he will do it im very sure that the vice president is going to do something Steve. Well, because you know you have not received any loans, no grants, no Steve, nothing from the state, the people, your local leaders, all came and said: oh dont worry. We are going to take care of this, and now we are five months later and nobody did. I can understand why you would. If the vice president of the United States says we are going to help you thats, all you got thats all. I have right now, thats all I have his word Steve for the politicians that came outside your shop in the

wake of it getting torched and they said were going to help. What would you like to say to them on this Friday morning?
