Description
It’s been almost a decade since Hurricane Sandy devastated several
Northeastern states, causing nearly $82 billion in damages and over 100
deaths. And according to a new report, New York City, which was one of
the hardest hit places, has only spent nearly a quarter of the $15
billion it received in emergency relief. POLITICO’s Danielle Muoio Dunn
breaks down why the recovery efforts in New York are taking so long and
what city officials are recommending to not only recover but also
prepare for the next storm. Plus, FERC Chair Richard Glick says he's
optimistic he'll get a confirmation hearing by the end of the year
because of reassurances from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and
the White House.
