U.S. SENATE TO TAKE UP HURRICANE SANDY AID VOTE THIS WEEK

The final vote for Hurricane Sandy aid is expected this week. The U.S. Senate is expected to take a vote on the aid package that was approved last week in the House of Representatives. The package is worth just north of $50 billion and is the second in two votes that took place in the House regarding aid for Hurricane Sandy victims. Senator Robert Menendez said last week he expects the legislation to pass when the vote take place.
