May 8, 2019

Statements

"This bill is an excellent example of our commitment to investing for the people and making life better for the middle class and people struggling to make it into the middle class. Not only does this bill resoundingly reject the proposed cuts in President Trump’s budget that would have hurt working families, it provides a robust increase for important priorities that create jobs and grow the economy, improve health security, and build a stronger future for all Americans."

Chairwoman Lowey Statement at Full Committee Markup of FY 2020 302(b) Subcommittee Allocations

May 8, 2019

Statements

"Most importantly, these suballocations represent this Committee’s intent to invest in the things most important to America’s working families. Under these suballocations, each subcommittee would receive an increase from the fiscal year 2019 levels. These allocations are fair, will allow this Committee to uphold our commitments to America’s working families, and signify the beginning of an orderly appropriations process."

Chair McCollum Statement at Hearing on FY 2020 Interior Department Budget Request

May 7, 2019

Statements

"I have spoken at length about the details of these cuts in the other hearings, but the bottom line is this: the unrealistic funding levels in the Trump budget cause needless worry by the many Americans who care deeply about our public lands, and the federal employees and volunteers who work to protect them. If enacted in its current form—which it will not be—this budget would have a significant negative impact on our Nation’s public lands."
