Democrats pushed to finance earthquake-recovery efforts in Puerto Rico, but the bill wasn’t likely to advance past the chamber because of partisan wrangling on how aid is managed on the island

WASHINGTON—The House passed a roughly $4.7 billion disaster-aid package Friday as Democrats pushed to finance earthquake-recovery efforts in Puerto Rico, though the bill wasn’t likely to advance past the chamber because of partisan divisions on how aid is managed on the island.

The White House has indicated it will veto the legislation, and the Senate is unlikely to take it up. The bill also includes tax breaks for residents of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories that would cost $16 billion over 10 years.

There are warehouses full of supplies held by the govt there for “emergencies.” That was just reported.

When “Democrats pushed to finance ... recovery efforts” the last things they care about are the victims. The goal is to feed Dems cronies: ‘You never let a serious crisis go to waste.’

Daily 9 am reports of progress! No progress no funds! Live Cams to watch over Major Infrastructure Jobs! Bridges, Roads, Power Plants , Water 💧, Airports !

typical Democrats - wasn't there massive corruption? That is their no 1 format for get rich quick Dems pump in aid and make sure u are ready to siphon it off

Such a dereliction of duty and compassion on the part of the GOP.
