$9 Billion Flood
Insurance Legislation Promised to Sandy Victims
On Wednesday,
Republican members of Congress from
New York and New Jersey emerged from
a meeting with House Speaker John
Boehner (R-OH) and House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) with an
announcement that on Friday, the
speaker is committed to pass
legislation to provide $9 billion in
flood insurance for those affected
by Superstorm Sandy, after putting
off a vote Tuesday night to approve
a $60.4 billion package to finance
the region’s recovery.
"Getting critical
aid to the victims of Hurricane
Sandy should be the first priority
in the new Congress, and that was
reaffirmed [Wednesday] with members
of the New York and New Jersey
delegations. The House will vote
Friday to direct needed resources to
the National Flood Insurance
Program. And on January 15th, the
first full legislative day of the
113th Congress, the House will
consider the remaining supplemental
request for the victims of Hurricane
Sandy," said Boehner and Cantor in a
joint statement.
