U.S. Senator Charles Schumer of New York said he’ll oppose any attempts to divert money from about $3.5 billion remaining in funds from a superstorm Sandy aid law until the area has enough money to fully rebuild.
“We will fight to ensure that every one of New York’s needs are met before a national competition sends a single Sandy relief dollar elsewhere,” Schumer, the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate, said in a statement yesterday.
