Summary
Paterson’s latest flash flood disaster—knee-high water, cars half-submerged, 15 rescued by fire crews—exposes a chronic crisis. Mayor Andre Sayegh is pushing hard for federal funding to overhaul the city’s aging sewer system, citing River Street’s recent repairs as proof of what’s possible. He’s also backing pollution penalties to clear clogged drains and insists that without major state and federal investment, Paterson will keep drowning every time it rains.
