Dems hold up disaster relief in petty political payback
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4381...ane-relief

"...Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) on Tuesday told reporters that Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.), the lead Democratic negotiator for the pending relief legislation, brought up the 2013 vote during a recent, contentious conversation.

“The senator from Vermont called me last Friday and said, ‘I want to show something,’ so he sent over this two-page spread on that vote. Of the 37 ‘no’ votes, I was one of them,” Isakson said when asked whether Democrats are stalling disaster relief for Georgia and other GOP states as a form of political payback for opposing prior legislation that also provided assistance to New Jersey and Connecticut.

“We had a few words,” Isakson added.

The conversation is proof that the current impasse over disaster relief is a form of political payback, according to Republicans...."

Note that there were 37 no votes, which means that it did pass. Disaster relief is still stalled now.
