Debate over use of Drake Hotel fire funds intensifies

The Minneapolis Foundation has now collected more than half a million dollars for the victims of the Christmas Day fire at the Drake Hotel, but a number of the victims are growing frustrated with how, and how fast, the money is being put to use. One affected man, Edgardo Reyes, says he lived and worked at the Drake with his wife and four-month-old child, and he says he’s grateful that he hasn’t had to rely solely on the money raised by the Minneapolis Foundation. So far, he says the only thing he received from the Minneapolis Foundation has been a $250 check for his family. The Minneapolis Foundation says it's now received $518,000 dollars in donations. About $145,000 has been spent.
