Staten Island feeling neglected as NYC and other areas regain power

The people of Staten Island are feeling angry and forgotten as NYC and New Jersey recover form Sandy. IT seems that the media attention and Red Cross presence has been lacking in Staten Island, one of the hardest hit areas by the storm.
This seems to me to be an example of media and public attention being captured by the big important areas while other lesser known areas suffer because of a lack of attention. Although now it seems that Staten island is getting some recognition. Like this article in the NY Times and this video form Rock Center with Brian Williams.
