Governors Cuomo and Christie On Hand for Discussion
Aboard Air Force One en route to Las Vegas, the
President talked to New York Governor Cuomo about the recovery efforts underway
in his state. The two will convene another call later tonight with other
local officials. FEMA Administrator Fugate will also join the call.
The President also convened conference calls
with state and local elected officials in New Jersey and Connecticut to ensure
that federal partners continue to bring all available resources to bear to
support state and local response efforts and that bureaucratic red tape is not
impeding progress.
The call with New Jersey officials included
Governor Christie, the state’s emergency manager and more than 700 officials
from across the state. The call to discuss Connecticut recovery efforts
included Governor Malloy and the state’s emergency manager. FEMA Administrator Fugate also participated in both calls.
