The vote showed bipartisan concern over White House priorities and objections to Cuomo housing program ideas after lawmakers increased HUD funding to 24.2 billion, 1 billion less than requested but 2.8 billion above current levels.

Gap narrows between men and women wages says Clinton admin
The economy and minimum wage rise helped cut the pay gap by about three cents on the dollar since spring. In the year to March 31, women’s median weekly earnings rose 6.6 percent to 455, while men’s rose 2.4 percent to 596. Women earned 76 cents per dollar in Q1 1998, up from 73 cents a year earlier, as efforts to boost female earnings and experience continue.
