oday, after the House passed a Continuing Resolution to fund the Government through April 28, 2017, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement:
"Although I am generally opposed to funding the government through a Continuing Resolution, I agree that it is important to give the Trump Administration and the next Congress a clean slate when determining what our spending priorities will be. However, moving appropriations bills through regular order and reigning in unchecked spending must be one of our top priorities next Congress. Only then do we fully exercise our Article 1 "power of the purse, 'and I am committed to working with my colleagues to accomplish this important task."
