Palmer Votes Against Spending Package

Press Release

“Voting on two different days does not change the fact that Congress is considering the first half of an omnibus bill. Congress has repeatedly ignored the debt crisis, the immigration crisis, and a host of other problems in exchange for temporary funding bills. Now, we are given a set of appropriation bills negotiated by only a handful of members. These bills lack important policy changes and are devoid of necessary constraints on spending at a time when our national debt is over $34 trillion. I made a commitment to vote for sound policy and to reduce wasteful government spending. Unfortunately, this bill misses the mark. We must change the process and commit to doing the hard work to get appropriations done and avoid forced votes on bad bills.”
