The US House of Representatives will not vote on a $60bn (£37bn) super-storm Sandy aid package today and lawmakers from the US states of New York and New Jersey are angry.
The Senate approved a bill last week. A spokesman for Speaker Boehner said he was committed to passing a bill in January, but it will need to be reintroduced.
Representative Peter King, a New York Republican, told reporters. “It’s wrong and I’m saying that as a member of the Republican Party.” http://bbc.in/UGy2XA
