Speaker. the devastation in south Dade County due to Hurricane Andrew is surely of epic proportions. Many have died. homes have been destroyed. businesses demolished. neighborhoods trashed. entire areas in ruins. Andrew left a true tragedy by its path and it did not discriminatewhether you lived in a fancy house in a secluded neighborhood. or an abandoned trailer. where the most humble illegal alien worked in the agriculture fields. you both got hit and you both got hit hard. This Federal relief bill will at least give one ray of hope to an otherwise dismal human tragedy. The tired old cliche which says "Today is the first day of the rest of your life" seems to have new meaning to the residents of south Dade because these Federal funds will serve to alleviate some of the suffering that has been the fate of many for the last almost 4 weeks.
