Congresswoman to assess hurricane recovery efforts

QUEENS, NY – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, will travel to Puerto Rico to assess recovery efforts from damage caused by Hurricane Maria.
Meng will visit the island today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) where she'll receive briefings on rebuilding, tour impacted facilities, and meet with residents and officials.
Since the storm struck, the Congresswoman has called for increased aid for Puerto Rico's recovery and she spearheaded efforts to make it easier for aid to reach the island.
