Lowey Statement on GOP Failure to Hold Vote on Sandy Aid

Statement

"House Republican leadership's decision to adjourn Congress without providing assistance to families, businesses, and communities affected by Sandy is irresponsible and inexcusable. It is an abdication of our responsibility to help those affected by natural disasters that will have real and lasting consequences. We can pass a bill right now to help those affected by Sandy with broad and bipartisan support, yet Republican leadership has refused to hold a vote. Dysfunction in this chamber should not punish victims of Sandy all over again."
