Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House completed a $60.2 billion aid plan to rebuild communities damaged by Hurricane Sandy two weeks after Northeast Republicans denounced Speaker John Boehner's cancellation of an earlier vote. The House voted 241-180 today to add a $50.5 billion package of aid to a $9.7 billion measure passed by both houses of Congress on Jan. 4. The plan now goes to the Senate. (Source: Bloomberg)
