Edward Livingston said "The amendment before the committee would provide $20 million for HUD's Community Development Block Grant Program to assist in the recovery from the recent Northeastern U.S. ice storm. This storm caused damage to property and utilities in this area of the country in an unprecedented manner. Providing funding in this account is similar to what has been done in recent past disasters. The funding in this amendment would be offset by an increase to the Section 8 housing excess reserve rescission. This amendment will bring important additional relief to this area caused by the huge ice storm that devastated the Northeastern U.S. and Canada. I urge its adoption." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
