We have made tremendous progress rebuilding our community and lives, however, many are still struggling. I will continue to work tirelessly in each community until every family is safe and secure back in their own home!   Stay Strong,   Fix Our Evacuation Routes Recently, I teamed up with Nassau County Legislator Howard Kopel in a rally to fix the 878 and alleviate our congested roadways, build new infrastructure and provide our families with quick and safe evacuation routes! Thank you to everyone that joined the effort to make safety and infrastructure a priority. After years of neglect, our roadways including Cross Bay Boulevard, Beach Channel Drive and the 878 are unable to handle the daily traffic, let alone a possible evacuation. Please sign my petition atwww.fixourroadsnow.com and send a strong message that we can't wait until the next disaster to fix our roads! PSEG At Home in Rockaway Together with PSEG, we made history this week by cutting the ribbon on the first ever electric utility office to be located within Rockaway. This new customer service center at Arverne by the Sea is another example of PSEG's strong commitment to every neighborhood they serve. In only a year since taking over electrical utilities in Rockaway, PSEG has already proven to be a responsive and proactive community partner in our recovery from Sandy and our emergency preparedness for the future.     Celebrating Young Readers Once again, the Summer Reading challenge was a huge success! I personally presented certificates to hundreds of young readers at PS 232 in Lindenwood, PS 47 in Broad Channel, PS 63 in Ozone Park, PS 114 in Belle Harbor, St. Camillus in Rockaway Park, PS 146 in Howard Beach and St. Rose of Lima in Rockaway Beach. To earn a certificate, students need to read at least 15 minutes a day for 40 days during their summer vacation. Congrats to all the students and a huge thanks to parents and all the principals and teachers for encouraging such strong participation.
