"I thank Governor Hochul for visiting Flushing and for the great leadership she has provided since the storm occurred," said Meng. "I also thank the Governor for her attention to Queens during this difficult and challenging time, and I will continue working with her to help local residents recover from the devastation that they have been forced to endure."
