Instead of conflicting rules and regs and red tape They should have brought in pallets of money like they did for Iran.

    Freeholder Curley did what he had to do to get some attention for Monmouth and it worked.

    By the way, the Monmouth County Freeholders and Lt. Governor Guadagno were very responsive and helpful during this period. They really helped Monmouth get back on her feet.

    Sadly there are too many houses that stand pretty much like they were the day after Sandy.

    I happen to be a CPA and forensic accountant who has worked on many disasters doing business interruption, property and extra expense including Sandy for 3 years (hundred businesses including pharma, factories, bars and restaurants) , Irene, Katrina (20 casinos + government contractors) , 911 three years (30 jobs including Windows on the World, banks, traders and Cantor) , first WTC bombing, bombing ( traders, law firms) Canary Wharf, LA Riots (every business moved out), Andrew 2 years (flattened Homestead), David etc.

    My clients bring bags of money the first week after the disaster (the most important week).
