Those power crews will be paid overtime rates for their trips, plus per diems and more. That couple would be serving their community better by giving to the Salvation Army!!!
This is true. NJ is a densely populated state, and to be without power for so long is an tragedy. Power companies have mutual aid pacts, but yeah we pay for it in the end.
But anyone in NJ would gladly pay money if they could get their power on in the next 15 minutes, and gas for their car.
I have a feeling there will be a lot of new Republicans in NY and NJ by Tuesday. Shock is turning into rage now.
Re: The Salvation Army—there is no better group to donate to, in a disaster.
I emailed the Romneyt campaign to include them in his pleas, when he was only mentioning the Red Cross.
