Nearly two weeks after reluctantly okaying $9.7 billion in relief funds for Hurricane Sandy victims, lobbying and lambasting has moved the House to pass the rest of the $50.7 billion emergency bill, which will aid victims of the storm, the New York Times reported. The bill passed 241 to 180, with only 49 Republicans joining 192 Democrats.
