Senate passes bill ensuring 9/11 victims fund will never run out of money

BREAKING: US Congress authorizes 9/11 victim compensation fund.

The Senate passed a bill Tuesday to ensure a fund to compensate victims of the Sept. 11 attacks never runs out of money — and that first responders won't have to return to Congress to plead for more funding.

The bill, which was passed by a vote of 97-2, would authorize money for the fund through 2092, essentially making it permanent. Stewart also blasted Congress as a whole when he testified before a House committee on the issue last month,for requiring the act to be reauthorized, resulting in ailing first responders having to make repeated trips to the Capitol.
