Bingaman Votes to Approve Budget Blueprint that Supports Health Care, Education and Energy Initiatives

U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today voted to approve a budget plan that would significantly fund education, health care, veterans' initiatives and renewable energy this year and beyond.

"This budget blueprint puts us on a path to investing in initiatives that will benefit all Americans," Bingaman said. "It emphasizes education, clean energy and health care programs. I believe this is a good plan for helping turn around our economy."

The proposal passed 48-45; the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Thursday. The measure will be used in the development of the appropriations bills that fund the government.
