«As I watched the news at 5 in the morning, I just wanted to make
sure residents affected were well cared for after the tragedy,» Yearwood said.
«The legislative session is already well underway, and I will be working with Congressman Donovan, Borough President Oddo, Senator Lanza, Minority Leader Matteo, Councilman Borelli, Assemblywoman Malliotakis, and all of Staten Island's elected officials on both sides of the aisle to make
sure the issues that most
affect South Shore
residents are addressed in Albany.»
