As Governor of a
state that has experienced a number of severe weather events in recent years,
including Hurricane Sandy, I have seen firsthand the very real and harmful
effects these events have on our citizens.
As many states
continue to rebuild from Hurricane Sandy, I applaud President Obama and
Secretary Donovan for their hard work to better streamline and coordinate federal efforts.
I look forward
to the continued dialogue and further identifying ways we can all work together
to ensure that the much needed support reaches those in need as swiftly as
possible
