On the recordAugust 6, 2022
Mr. President, the senior Senator from Florida says we should stop our efforts on reconciliation until we put money in law enforcement. So we checked the record. When we put billions in local communities for law enforcement in the American Rescue Plan, the senior Senator from Florida voted no. And when it came to the Omnibus bill and Byrne grants and COPS money that local organizations and law enforcement needed so they could be stronger and fight crime, 31 Republicans voted no, including the senior Senator from Florida. So I would suggest we vote no on his amendment.
