Transportation, HUD

February 27, 2014

The State of Arizona, the Appropriations Committee, and all of Congress have benefitted from the hard work, dedication, and wisdom of Congressman Ed Pastor (D-AZ). As Ranking Democrat on the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee, he has fought to invest in our nation's roads and bridges, transportation safety, and affordable housing. He has been a champion for comprehensive immigration reform and represented the working families of his district with dedicated and principled leadership. Ed will be sorely missed, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Lowey Statement on House Consideration of 2014 Transportation-HUD Appropriations Act

July 30, 2013

What a difference a year makes! Last year, Chairman Latham put forward a responsible bill that invested in our nation's infrastructure and took care of the housing needs of our most vulnerable citizens. The bill we consider today, which is $7.7 billion below the FY 2013 CR level and $13.9 billion below the President's request, is a stark contrast.

The overall allocation provided to this Committee by the Ryan Budget Resolution was unworkable from the start. It forced impossible choices and is, predictably, creating winners and losers among our twelve subcommittees.
