When Hurricane Sandy blew plowed through the east coast, it became this country’s costliest storm other than Katrina. New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo will be seeking at least $30 billion in aid from the federal government for the states cleanup costs, according to The New York Times. The itemized breakdown of use for the money includes $3.5 billion to repair the region’s bridges and commuter lines, $1.65 billion to rebuild homes and apartments, $1 billion to pay back local police and emergency personnel for working overtime, and several billion dollars in federal loans and grants for businesses that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.
