Hurricane Sandy emergency aid bill approved in House



The House has approved a dramatically scaled back aid package for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The size of the bill was cut to only $9.6B. The original bill was for $60B.

67 Republicans voted against the bill.

The House plans to vote again later this month on a $51 billion package in relief aid to state governments still rebuilding after the storm.
