Tony Nunziato for NY State Assembly - Maspeth, MidVille irate over flooding

Tony Nunziato, Chair of the Maspeth-Middle Village Task Force, and Vice President of the Maspeth Chamber of Commerce, said that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance offered was inadequate and insulting. “We pay taxes to maintain our infrastructure. It’s the government’s fault that these catch basins were not maintained. Instead of getting reimbursed for our problems, they want us to take out a 3% loan with the feds? This is unfair to the hardworking people of this area who own businesses and live here. This would never have happened in Manhattan.” Nunziato said that the basements of businesses all along Grand Avenue in Maspeth were flooded, many of them losing thousands of dollars in merchandise.
