Not only that, but when I saw Rob Astorino speak a few weeks ago, a Sandy victim who was almost in tears asked why she hasn't received her Sandy Relief check she was promised almost a year ago (shes still living at a friends house) as part of Cuomos NYRising program. Astorino paused and said "You can bet money those checks will start rolling in come September or October."
Don't have to read between the lines on that one. Especially since that money was earmarked and already approved over a year ago, according to Michelle Mittleman, organizer of the group Sandy Victims Fighting FEMA.
