Congressman Al Green Supports Relief for Hurricane Sandy Victims

“Today, I joined with a bipartisan coalition to pass H.R. 41, which will provide relief for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.  I believe it is important to support this bipartisan measure, which will provide an additional $9.7 billion to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to pay out flood insurance claims to those who have lost property and are now homeless due to the storm. Providing relief to hardworking Americans, who have suffered such tragic losses through no fault of their own, is a common sense move for a Congress that should be focused on assisting the least, the last, and the lost among us.”
