A group of more than a half-dozen U.S. Senators today called on the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee to hold additional hearings on ongoing power restoration work in Puerto Rico.
“We are deeply concerned that six months after Hurricane Maria hit the island, there are still residents without power and many more with only irregular or intermittent electricity,” the senators said in a letter to the chair and ranking member of the Senate’s Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA).
The Army Corps of Engineers is reportedly reducing the number of utility repair workers in Puerto Rico.
“We would welcome an opportunity to discuss the Corps’ decision to begin reducing this workforce on the island while our fellow Americans in Vieques, Caguas, and elsewhere continue to struggle,” the senators wrote.
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tom Carper (D-DE), Bob Casey (D-PA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signed the letter.
