SANDY SHAME: Generators Still Sit IDLE Storm Sufferers Left Out In Cold

Generators were already in the area for the now debunked NY Marathon, but because of NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s foot dragging and shocking ongoing incompetence by city officials, most of those generators STILL sit dead in the water.

Life saving power generators parked idle in a rental company’s New Jersey parking lot even though Sandy sufferers were promised the units after being moved from a Staten Island staging area of the New York City Marathon.


Photos show the generators sat inactive less than two miles from some of superstorm Sandy’s hardest-hit victims.

19 generators made their way to Linden, NJ, where they also sat unused for hours before being moved to National Grid’s Far Rockaway power station.

Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson told victims that assets from the marathon “will be redeployed to people who need it,” but massive marathon generators, each big enough to power dozens of homes, were still not deployed. 14 of the humungous electrical units remained in the park as of last night.
