- Nearly 70 days after Superstorm Sandy devastated New Jersey and New York, the House today is finally voting on a bill to provide some disaster assistance to the affected areas. It is very unfortunate that it took deep public criticism of Speaker Boehner earlier this week by members on both sides of the aisle – including from New Jersey Governor Christie – to shame the House into action. Disaster aid should not be held up by partisan politics. Unfortunately, the approach taken by Republicans today will require another Senate vote and delay relief, but at least we are moving forward to assist these areas.

155,000 jobs created and auto sales at 5 year high. Progress that we must continue to build on in 2013.- Congratulations to Dave Flynn who was just elected by his colleagues as Chair of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners this evening. I am confident he will do a talented job.

A fascinating reminder...- Nice to see the families of all of the new Members gathered for the swearing-in as we all reflect on the trust the American people have placed in us. I’m proud to be serving the new 9th District of Michigan. While much of the new district remains a similar combination of Macomb and Oakland communities, it also includes several new communities that I have not represented this past term, and in some cases never before – which I’m excited to get to know. Many thanks for keeping in touch on issues important to you.

Hurricane Sandy was the worst storm in the history of the northeast and yet House Republican leaders last night walked away from a promise to bring up a relief package. They should bring it up immediately.- A very important part of President Obama's remarks last night on avoiding the fiscal cliff: “Today’s agreement enshrines a principle into law that will remain in place for as long as I am president. The deficit needs to be reduced in a way that is balanced. Everyone pays their fair share. Everyone does their part. That is how our economy works best. That is how we grow.”

debate is wrapping up...hours away from people returning to work, markets reopening around the world and all eyes focusing on whether this institution can govern, this legislation allows us to get done what we need to get done. http://democrats.waysandmeans.house.gov/press-release/levin-floor-statement-legislation-avert-fiscal-cliff- Important Status Update:

Vital that we act immediately so that 2 million-plus Americans don't lose their lifeline as they look for work.- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "I heard the bells on Christmas Day, their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, goodwill to men!"

- It has been deeply troubling that Speaker Boehner has spent day after day on the road to nowhere; making it clear Republicans are having trouble governing and only putting us closer to the fiscal cliff. The Speaker needs to now exercise leadership and go back to the negotiating table with the President to find a path forward that is balanced, equitable, and promotes economic growth.

12 days from the end of the year with many outstanding issues and House Republicans are wasting precious time debating a bill that provides a $50,000 tax cut to the very wealthiest instead of negotiating a comprehensive and balanced solution with the President. Here is my floor statement from today.Rep Sandy Levin shared a link.
