The workers from National Grid and other utility companies helping downstate in the wake of Hurricane Sandy are dedicated people putting their lives on the line just like our firefighters and emergency medical service technicians.
Contrary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's belief ("State's utilities put on notice," Nov. 6), they are not miracle workers. I take his negative comments personally, considering my dad, friends and family are or were National Grid employees.
