This is the text of the primary Sandy aid package that was enacted in January 2013 (there were several bills relating to Sandy aid because - (1) the GOP forced the original aid package to be broken out, (2) the NFIP was enacted separately to refill its depleted coffers; and (3) the original bills died without full consideration before the end of the lame duck 2012 session).

Now, if you want to go back and look at the bill that died in 2012 (HR1, the fourth version that replaces the original text that formed the basis of the Sandy aid package ), you’ll see that there was a grand total of ~$400m out of $60b that wasn’t explicitly Sandy-storm related aid. That $400m, however was related to disaster aid for other regions that required funding, including $150m for fisheries damage from a declared natural disaster during 2012 separate from Sandy, etc.

Hardly pork, but the GOP wanted it out. The GOP kvetched and delayed funding for months. That is an absolute and undeniable fact. They put up enough roadblocks to passing an aid package that they delayed recovery for months. That’s on them.
