Hurricane Sandy: Staten Island Borough President Urges Residents Not To Donate To Red Cross

Organization accused of dragging their feet.

Staten Island borough President James Molinaro is putting the American Red Cross on blast for not bringing enough supplies to the forgotten area, where Sandy has claimed 19 lives, hundreds of homes and blocked dozens of streets.

“All these people making these big salaries should be out there on the front line, and I am disappointed,” Molinaro said at a press conference. “And my advice to the people of Staten Island is: Do not donate to the American Red Cross. Let them get their money elsewhere."
