When Whitefish got busted Gov Cuomo was on CNN and said that when the rest of the US experiences natural disasters other states help them out if they need it. All the costs/bills go to the Fed Govt from the state which was hit to pay for their own state utility/contractors as well as the states that send workers to help. He didn't know why this wasn't done in PR and he said he could send 300 utility guys from NY right away (and other states too if they are asked) but the workers need a place to live for a long time while down there working. Also, they need to do good infrastructure work to fight climate change like raising buildings, roads and all of the equipment needed to do this work needs a week to go down to Florida and then on a boat to PR. The Fed Govt screwed up from the start. Even the lines that Whitefish supposedly fixed went out again.
