On Sunday’s Up w/ Chris Hayes, we’ll discuss the negotiations — and the roadblocks — that have held up the relief bills for Hurricane Sandy victims in the House of Representatives. We’ll also take a look back at the 112th Congress that just ended — one of the least productive in history — and review some of the bills they actually did manage to pass. And we’ll examine the causes and consequences of gun crimes, after Chicago’s murder rate hit a record high in 2012.
Joining Chris on Sunday at 8AM ET on MSNBC will be:
- Steve Ellis, the vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense.
- Fran O’Connor, a resident of Sayreville, NJ, one of the towns hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy.
- Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.
- Esther Armah, host of “Wake Up Call” on WBAI-FM.
- Tio Hardiman, director of CeaseFire Illinois and creator of the Violence Interrupter Initiative.
- Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), newly elected Congressman representing parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
