NY Assembly Speaker Tours Areas Still Recovering From Sandy
As Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Texas and Florida begin to recover from a series of devastating hurricanes, some areas in New York State continue to deal with the effects of Superstorm Sandy.
State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie visited Massapequa on Long Island Tuesday to see firsthand some of the areas hardest hit by the 2012 storm. The Bronx Democrat also met with a local non-profit created after Sandy to help residents rebuild their homes.
