Governor, Did You Divert Sandy Relief Money from Victims to TV Ads?

 

When Hurricane Sandy hit New York almost two years ago, thousands of New Yorkers saw their homes and possessions destroyed. Twenty months later, many families are still out of their homes.

But what about the billions Sandy aid that was supposed to help them?  Where did it go? Shouldn't that have been enough money to get people back on their feet?

A lot of people have been asking Governor Cuomo that question, but his office won't tell them.

So let me ask you directly, Mr. Cuomo:  Is it true that you diverted Hurricane Sandy and other relief money into TV commercials to help your re-election?  Did you actually take money that could have gone to hurricane victims and put it into television ads?

If that's true, governor  -- and I'm told it is -- how much did you spend?  And how much of that money is left?

Families are still in need Mr. Cuomo. Are your free TV ads really more important than them?
