Rep. Harris Opposes Senate Fiscal Package

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Andy Harris, M.D., released the following statement on the fiscal package proposed by the Senate:

“I cannot support a package that continues spending at a level that does nothing to reduce the 650 billion dollar deficit this year or deficits in future years, continues an exemption from Obamacare requirements for members of Congress, and continues accounting gimmicks. I have voted three times to fully fund and over a dozen times to partially fund parts of the government. This government shutdown occurred because the Senate and President insisted on special treatment for large corporations and for themselves and their staff. Unfortunately, the Senate bill addressed neither. It just kicks the can further down the road.”
