Rosa DeLauro: “The budget put forward by Chairman Ryan that the House is considering this week threatens to do even more damage.”

When Democrats reclaim control of Congress next year, the House Appropriations Committee will work to uncover and reverse misuses of taxpayer money like this and hold those who abused their power accountable.

Not only is freezing the money in this proposal illegal, but the administration has also clearly been unlawfully impounding funds all year just to get to this point.

I am glad that federal support is on its way through this SBA disaster declaration for the businesses, residents, and communities that were impacted by devastating flash floods last month.

Whether a community receives disaster relief should not depend on who they voted for in the last election.
