Owens Statement Opposing Democrats' "Relief" Bill

Statement

Date: Feb. 27, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04) released the following statement outlining his opposition to Nancy Pelosi's $1.9 trillion payoff to progressives.

"The American Rescue Plan is a trillion-dollar wish list filled with special interest buyouts, progressive spending priorities, and misplaced assistance masquerading as pandemic relief. This bill showcases the worst of Washington -- funding special interest groups, incentivizing harmful lockdowns, and destroying quality jobs at the expense of American families. My constituents in the Fourth District deserve better "relief" than this."
