Financial Aid in the News

Snow Freezes Legislative Action (Politico)

"A winter that could turn out to be the snowiest in Washington history is having a serious impact on Capitol Hill, where the last legislative week before Congress's winter break could be lost as a second large snowstorm looms," Politico reports. "The House canceled votes for Tuesday. And even though the Senate, as of late Monday, planned to hold votes Tuesday, only three of the Senate's 100 lawmakers showed up at a brief session Monday after the weekend's 2-foot snowstorm forced lawmakers to scrap Monday votes. Among the votes that were canceled: a closely watched jobs bill. Lawmakers are under increased pressure to return to Washington before next week's legislative recess begins over Presidents Day weekend, as further snow delays or cancellations could mean Congress would remain at a standstill for two straight weeks."
