"News
reports confirm what we already knew: President Trump and his
administration abandoned Puerto Rico in its time of greatest need. The
federal response to Hurricane Maria revealed a clear double standard,
and the people of Puerto Rico - who are American citizens - deserve
better. The way this federal administration has treated Puerto Rico is a
disgrace, but it does not represent the feelings of New Yorkers or the
American people.
"From
the beginning of this tragedy, New Yorkers from all across the state
stepped up to provide resources and dedicate themselves to the island's
recovery. And earlier this month we launched the NY Stands with Puerto
Rico Recovery and Rebuilding Initiative to help Puerto Rico build back
better than ever before. Puerto Rico still faces a long road to
recovery, and New York will walk with them every step of the way."
