Stutzman Stands Strong on Spending

Statement

Date: March 16, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Today, Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement on the House Budget Committee's FY 2017 budget proposal:

"I voted against the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) in October which increased the caps on federal spending. Then, in December, I opposed the Omnibus funding bill that began spending above the caps. Tonight, in committee, I could not support the House Budget plan that continued that policy by increasing the caps by $30 billion. I came to Congress to fight for lower spending not sit on the sidelines and watch it increase," Stutzman said.Today, Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement on the House Budget Committee's FY 2017 budget proposal:
