Minnesota Leaders Say They’ll Help Minneapolis Recover From Tornado
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota leaders say they'll help north Minneapolis recover.
Gov. Mark Dayton, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison and others toured tornado damage Monday with Mayor R.T. Rybak, Dayton returned to the Capitol without speaking to reporters.
But Rybak told reporters the Minneapolis recovered from the Interstate 35W bridge collapse and he's confident the city can do it again.
Klobuchar says she saw a lot of homes and businesses that were "twisted and turned," but her main concern is for all the people whose lives were "twisted and turned, and turned upside down." She says Minneapolis might be eligible for up to $6.9 million in federal disaster aid, as well as individual and small-business loans.
Ellison says he's confident the community will be rebuilt better than it was before.
