You could just hand out 30,000 dollars to everyone on the island...man are we a bunch of suckers...
Sharyl should stop fueling discontent.
She's harming innocent people in her quest for fame.
Ping.
I saw reported a few months ago that Puerto Rico got ten times the aid which the Florida Panhandle got and Michael was the more powerful hurricane.
Despite this they complained that they weren’t getting enough help.
Two issues that have been brought up to me by folks living in P.R.
First, the island’s government has to provide a spending plan or budget for how the recovery funds are to be spent. I have been told that said plan has not been presented, hence, no funds dispersed to the island.
Second, recovery funds are provided to home owners as proven by presenting paperwork that show proof of ownership. Many homes have been passed down generation to generation with no paperwork to back up the transfer of ownership rights. How do you expect to get funds to fix “your” home when you can’t prove that it’s “your” home.
On a related note, funding for repairs are for “permitted” structures that are up to code. This means that there is no recovery funding for the wooden apartment/home that was built on the roof of the existing concrete home, or any structure no matter how well built, that did not go through the permit process.
All of the above is anecdotal, but believable in my opinion.
Good friend of mine has family and a place in PR high up t he visited frequently during this event. He told me that the airport was only accepting 1 flight a day and none at night because they kept stealing the temp landing lights and containers piled high at the docks sitting in the sun unloaded
