Betty McCollum: “Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank all the people who have come to testify today, and I am ready to listen.”

Mr. Speaker, last week the Republican Majority in the House of Representatives decided that they know better than the residents of the District of Columbia what their local government needs.

I urge the Republican House Majority to stop bringing these harmful and nonsensical attacks on our public health and the environment to the House floor.

The Republican's Reckless Budget Scheme is back on the House floor today, proposing the same devastating cuts to our families and communities in exchange for massive tax breaks for Elon Musk, President Trump, and their billionaire buddies.

H.R. 881 is a solution in search of a problem.
