Mayor Ben Blake joined Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman to view the damages done down on East Broadway.
State Senator Gayle Slossberg and State Representatives Paul Davis and Kim Rose were down at the site, speaking with people who've lost everything.
East Broadway resident Nate Hall called Hurricane Sandy "twice as worse" as Irene. He also said that he was "shocked they didn't have a night crew," noting that he thought more should be done to remove wreckage and get people back in their homes.
FEMA representatives were flown in from as far as South Dakota and Idago to survey the damage. A team of six from FEMA are in Milford, including IA's (who offer individual assistance) and PA's (who deal with infrastructure. PA stands for public assistance).

This year it will be the Democratic Mayor and his Democratic BOA to tell the Milford taxpayers who sustained massive damage that the Republican BOA and Mayor were willing to relinquish the permit fees that normally went into the coffers of the City of Milford and instead stayed in the homeowner's pocket. REMEMBER IT IS THE HOMEOWNER AND NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT MUST FILE THE PERMIT APPLICATION AND PAY THE REQUIRED FEE, AND NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE A PERMIT IS ISSUED.
