More than two years after the hurricane, reporter Scott Gurian continues to shine a bright light on recovery-related issues, providing invaluable, in-depth coverage of complicated issues. Notably, Gurian helped expose the state’s botched funding formula for allocating energy grants to help communities install back up power for future storms. As a result of the mistakes made by the state, substantial funding went to towns left relatively unscathed by the hurricane and left some of the most impacted towns with little or no funding at all. The investigation ultimately forced the state to make hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of corrections.
