Rep. Andy Harris Opposes Potential Government Shutdown

Statement

Date: April 8, 2011
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

The following is a statement from Rep. Andy Harris regarding the possibility of a government shutdown:

"We shouldn't need a government shutdown. At the same time, Marylanders sent me to Congress this year to end Washington's spending spree in order to get the economy moving and build an environment for positive job growth.

Nearly 50 days ago, the House of Representatives passed a reasonable budget that would reduce the federal spending this year by a mere two percent. I believe those in charge, the Senate and the President, must work with the House of Representatives to control spending. The American people expect us to solve this problem, and we must deliver."
