Statement from Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, Chair of The New York State Assembly/Senate Puerto Rican and Hispanic Task Force
Given the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy and the ongoing storm recovery efforts, the 2012 Somos Winter Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico that was scheduled for November 7 11 has been canceled. My colleagues and I believe it is imperative that we continue to work on getting all of our constituents the assistance they need to fully recover as quickly as possible. The New York State Assembly and Senate Puerto Rican and Hispanic Task Force is committed to rebuilding our coastal communities and other areas of the state hit hard by the unprecedented destruction of Hurricane Sandy. The Task Force will be scheduling a conference in New York City next month to address the devastation brought to our communities. ###
