Sandy Aid May Drop in Sequester, Menendez Says
Bloomberg news: About $1 billion may be taken from Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster-relief funds
Across-the-board federal spending cuts that began yesterday may block as much as $2.5 billion in Hurricane Sandy relief for New York and New Jersey, according to Bloomberg.
About $1 billion may be taken from Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster-relief funds, the main source for FEMA help for individuals and communities, said Paul Brubaker, a spokesman for Senator Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg reported that another $1.5 billion may be held out of block grants and transportation funding, Brubaker said.

I thought Menedez was keeping a low profile. I wouldn't trust him for a nano second!
It makes me so proud to have him as one of our two awful senators!
