Navigating scams and up-charges in rebuilding after Hurricane Ida
Homeowners in New Jersey looking to rebuild after Tropical Storm Ida are being told to beware of dishonest practices like price gouging.

Consumer advocates say the state needs to do more to make sure contractors are held accountable.
