James S. Oddo ’91

is Making Superstorm

Sandy Recovery His Top

Priority As Staten Island

Borough President

By homas Adcock

“Issue number one is—still—

recovery from Sandy,” Oddo said

of the second most disastrous

superstorm in U.S. history, which

killed 23 Staten Islanders, ripped

through seawalls and berms on the

South Shore, and tore homes from

their foundations. “Our people are

tired. They don’t want to hear any

more words.”
