Romney at "storm relief" event compared the clean up after Sandy to picking up trash

18. I delivered the mail

I was only affected by the detour for months on end. We lost 6 houses on my route that was swept away with the river. A graveyard was destroyed and caskets floating around.

My coworker lived there so I got a good idea of what they went through. The flood waters went on for miles traveling through low lying areas. I had to pass the national guard to even gain admittance to some areas and on one route that I worked occasionally, we had to have the coast guard take us over.

Also curiously, many many people, at least 100 who I had never heard of or delivered mail to, came to pick up fema checks. I tried to turn in the names. Seems it would be easy to find out if they owned the homes or rented them but they did not want them. It was cheaper they said to give them each the money than to check out their story.
