BRONX, N.Y. -- It's been more than four months since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, leaving most of the island without electricity. About 30 percent of the population still doesn't have power as the recover efforts continue. 

“Where else in the United States would that even be possible," said Ricardo Rosselló, Puerto Rico Governor. "Where else in the United States would that be tolerable?”

Unsatisfied with the federal response, Rossello is demanding more action. He joined governor Andrew Cuomo at a rally in the Bronx on Saturday, asking Congress to fully fund the island's $94.4 billion disaster relief aid package.

“Puerto Rico, this is not a luxury, it’s a necessity,” Cuomo said.

It was one of six rallies held across the state Saturday. In the Capital Region, dozens attended a rally at the Albany Labor Temple.

Many local officials joined the call for increase funding from Washington. They say it's time all of Puerto Rico get its basic necessities back.

“We know that it’s a long way for Puerto Rico to come to normal," said Dr. Guillermo Linares, the New York Higher Education Service Corporation Acting President. "We will continue to support Puerto Rico in this time of need.”

Cuomo said the Trump administration's response shows disrespect for Puerto Rico, leaving much of the island in the dark for months. That's why he says it is the time for federal lawmakers to act now. 

“We need congress to do the right thing, the fair thing,” Cuomo said.

During the State of the Union, President Trump expressed solidarity to Puerto Rico saying "we are with you, we love you, and we will pull through together."
