The U.S. House has approved a 19 BILLION dollar disaster relief package that includes flood aid for Iowans and the president’s likely to sign it into law yet this week.

Fifty-eight House Republicans voted against the aid package last night, but it passed with the support of 354 House members, including all four Iowans.

Senator Chuck Grassley says the bill includes financial help for farmers who lost stored grain to flooding.

First district Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer of Dubuque says Iowa flood victims “desperately need” this help from the federal government.
