The Senate passed this bill on December 28.
It provides $60.2 billion in ADDITIONAL aid to Hurricane Sandy victims.
The vote was 61-33.
I presume all 33 were Republicans, but did not check.
This new "aid" bill is apparently packed with goodies that have nothing to do with Sandy damage.
Dear Rep. King,
It’s not yours to give.

Tell that to Peter King who is making hay out of this and of course the media is eating this up.
King Peter is the clown who wanted new laws to protect congressmen from the people after the Gabby Giffords shooting.
Obama went to New Jersey.
Christie hugged him.
Right?
Yeah that bill was filled with PORK..what else is knew..every damn bill that comes out of DC comes with a crapload of pork
but but but electing R’s is the only way to stop Obama, didn’t we see how those R’s unified in opposition to the fiscal cliff vote, which was 89-8?
oh wait...
heh
//sarc
What is “indefensible and immoral” is packing a relief bill with goodies and pork that have nothing to do with Sandy when the country is bankrupt. Squealing like a stuck pig because it’s not galloping through Congress just adds insult to the injury to American taxpayers.
“This new “aid” bill is apparently packed with goodies that have nothing to do with Sandy damage”
Yeah, like $150 milliion for Alaskan fisheries!
When the “relief” passes, it will have BILLIONS in PORK tied to it.
Why do my tax dollars need to help inadequately insured homeowners whose luck ran out? Just asking
Is this the same Peter King who as a member of Congress is about to sink us 20 TRILLION dollars in debt???
GO f*** yourself Peter King. Screw your constituents too. For electing a putz like you they deserve NOTHING.
