Regarding the New York Times story Cost Dispute Halts Airlift of Injured Haiti Quake Victims
Last night, between 60 and 80 Haitian orphans arrived at Miami International Airport. Let me be clear - at no time has Florida closed our doors to those impacted by the earthquake in Haiti. To the contrary, Florida has been at the forefront of the crisis in Haiti - caring for the injured, reuniting families, comforting those who have been devastated by loss. I am proud of the continued contribution that we are making to open our hearts and lend our hands to those in need. This state remains committed to this effort, knowing that many Floridians are working 20 hour shifts to meet the enormous challenge.
We are grateful for the offer of help from other states as our hospitals become filled with those in need. We will need to shoulder this responsibility together in order to ensure that every crucial need is met.
