Hurricane Sandy Relief


Ten weeks after hurricane Sandy devastated lives along the East Coast, Congress today finally passed a relief bill, allocating approximately $50 billion in aid.  The two measures passed the House by 241 to 180 and 228 to 192.  That means that 180 and then 192 Congress folk voted against helping people rebuild their lives after a hurricane devastated their communities.

It should be noted that ALL of the No votes but one were by Republicans.
