Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On November 26th, 2019 standing with Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, Southampton Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine, and Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer revealed that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has special powers to react to recent storm-generated emergencies locally that have washed away critical barriers, damaged infrastructure, flooded roadways and risk more damage to local communities working feverishly to prevent future breaches. Schumer demanded the USACE use those powers to step in and deliver much-needed sand, engineering and infrastructure assistance to Suffolk County as it grapples with the very real possibility that this week could bring new storms and surges that deliver more damage.
