WASHINGTON—The Recovery Board, scheduled to expire later this year, has been extended until September 2015 to monitor the $60.2 billion aid plan for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
In a blog posted today, Kathleen S. Tighe, the Chair of the Recovery Board, explained how the Board will work closely with the Office of Management and Budget, the Inspector General community, and other federal and state agencies to oversee Sandy spending. “In short,’’ she wrote, “Congress clearly wants to ensure that aid funds are not misspent or diverted improperly.’’
