The government's first priority was to get the businesses up and running, again. They accomplished that part well in the downtown area. A re-doubling of effort to help the Rockaways and Staten Island residents is what should be going on now before it gets any colder. God Bless the hearts of all those Irish and other volunteers who helped clean & repair homes in those hardest hit areas.
