Filibuster Blocked Loan Aid For New York City
The Senate voted 70 to 27 to block a filibuster on a $2.3 billion loan bill to avert New York City default. The measure imposes strict repayment terms and requires NYC to balance its budget with the federal government having first claim on revenue. House action on a related bankruptcy reform bill is set for next Tuesday. New York could face bond payments of $437 million on December 11 if default occurs.
