Back to Sandy, 3 months later and people are are still living in tents no heat some with no electricity. Funny before the election every one was on the band wagon. I thought the concert fixed it? Even Christi is silent. Could administration fee's be eating all the $$$

It just throws me how easily some are fooled into thinking help is on the way. It's like fishing with a hook with a small piece of bate and before you know it you catch a vote.

FEMA= Failure to Efficiently Manage Anything

Then I guess all those people that were on National news were Fake? Keep reading that post. I see where you've been
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The brutal cold snap Monday night was hitting residents hard on Staten Island, as they continue to struggle more than two months after Superstorm Sandy.
As CBS 2’s Jessica Schneider reported, the bitter blast has only added to their frustrations.
The snow was falling on Staten Island Monday night, as the temperatures plummeted.
With the coldest air in the past two years moving into New York, the already-struggling Sandy
victims were wondering how much more they could take.
“This is New York, and there are people freezing here. No heat, no hot water, no kitchens, no bathrooms,
can’t even take a shower. Can’t even go to the bathroom and wash your hands,” said Staten Island resident Anthony Marotto. “And theres so many people down here like that.”Marotto has been working for months to help his friends restore their homes. But the New Year has brought a new wave of both despair and determination – people are committed to rebuilding, but lamenting the tough conditions the winter brings.

“I’ve been living here for 22 years. I set my roots down here. It’s the first house I bought, and I ain’t giving it up,” said Steve Sumner“I ain’t giving it up to the weather, I ain’t giving it up to the government, I ain’t giving it up to anyone.” People in New Dorp have been relying on a tent for relief. People can get food, warm up, and even stay there overnight.
“We eat at the tent, we watch TV at the tent, we hang out, we mingle,” said Anthony Gambino. “What are you going to do? Got to try to make good of a bad situation, and the cold is going to make it bad, worse.”
The forecast high for Tuesday is just 26, Wednesday 23, Thursday 25, Friday 31, and Saturday 27. Wind chills overnight Monday into Tuesday were expected to make it feel as if it were 0 to 5 degrees.
So one group had space heaters set up, and the volunteers manning this tent were ready for an influx of people seeking relief.
“Grin and bear it,” Gambino said. “Bundles, layers, tent, close to the heatHe offered simple survival tips as these people who have already suffered enough braced for even more
hardship.
Nearly 1,500 Staten Island residents remain displaced from their homes

why not ask diesel how long it takes to build or rebuild a house? You know, from the land clearing operation to the final nail in the roof shingles. Do you expect the house fairy to stop by and wave a magic wand and viola, new houses for 1200-1500.

Governors? Ask Ray (Mayor) of N.O. Or Ken Feinberg (B.P.) payout. Think there's any PORK in that settlement?

Your right Dave but there are no house fairy's in union dominated East coast . This will become a cost overrun project 50 billion will turn into 100 or 200 billion and it still won't be done. This money is payback for votes cast. And why should the tax payer keep bailing these people out?

Heck, there's always room in Texas and North Dakota. Maybe they could live there.

What do you think? Do you have a plan for them?

Yea Dave how about a Insurance Plan. Or how about let's kill all the whales then maybe the ocean will recede. Or maybe grow some more sponges. And by the way Texas doesn't want them.

Most boneheaded people would have bought Flood Ins. living next to or on the Ocean. Why didn't you tell them the water is getting higher because of your MMGW.
