D.C. Buzz: Himes says ‘great’ Maria response not good enough

How do you say “all politics is local’’ in Spanish? As a Spanish-speaker from the time he spent growing up in South America, Rep. Jim Himes could tell you. But his prowess in political math is more in play here, especially in the wake of the hurricane-induced humanitarian disaster in Puerto Rico. In a demand for swifter action by the U.S. government, Himes said: “Americans of Puerto Rican heritage living in the United States, including more than a quarter million in Connecticut, are incredibly concerned for the safety of friends and family members.’’ Now, would Himes be indifferent to the suffering if Fairfield County did not have a Puerto Rican population of 8.4 percent? Of course not.
