Congresswoman Velazquez press statement on federal response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico

New York Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez says at a press conference on mortality rates in Puerto Rico in the nine months since Hurricane Maria that sadly, none may ever know the true number of deficit after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, back going forward transparency and a full accounting was needed. Velazquez discusses a letter written to the Government Accountability Office on the death toll after hundreds of calls from Puerto Ricans and relatives questioning 16 dead, noting funeral homes were closed without electricity, but a low death count must account for the federal response, going to the heart of the issue, argument and narrative defining the federal response.
