Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 6833, a short-term continuing resolution extending government funding through December 16th.
I oppose this CR for several reasons.
First, we should be here addressing the border crisis, the energy crisis, and the inflation crisis. This bill does nothing to fix any of these issues.
In fact, this bill actually bails out the Biden Administration for their failures and provides additional appropriations to put a band-aid on some of these problems for a few more months.
WASHINGTON – This week, Rep. Kay Granger (TX), the Lead Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, joined the Republican Leaders of three other House committees in sending letters to agency officials regarding rulemakings and other executive actions that clearly overstep the Biden Administration's authority. The letters bring attention to West Virginia v. EPA, a recent Supreme Court decision reiterating that "all legislative powers" remain with Congress.
WASHINGTON – Rep. Kay Granger (TX), the Lead Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement on the passing of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (IN).
"I am shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of my colleague, Jackie Walorski, and two of her dedicated staff members, Zachery Potts, her district director, and Emma Thomson, her communications director. My heart goes out to their families.
"Jackie was a wonderful person, and her passing is a great loss for Indiana and for our country."
