For 3rd time in a week, a single Republican lawmaker has blocked the US House from passing the $19B billion disaster relief bill.
"I am standing in a House chamber that is virtually empty," Rose said on the floor Thursday."Nearly all of my 431 colleagues are absent as the speaker of the House seeks to pass a $19 billion spending bill. Our nation is $22 trillion in debt. Trying to pass nearly $20 billion in new spending while the majority of Congress is not even in Washington reflects another act of irresponsible big government.
The bill would provide about $900 million to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017. That money would go toward nutrition assistance and a community development block grant, both of which were key Democratic priorities.
