Spending Levels Simply Too High
Washington, D.C. – Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, today voted against H.R. 2055, the Conference Report for the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012.
“Aside from spending levels being simply too high, this is a 1,200-page bill that we’re voting on only a few hours after it was finalized. We’ll be discovering for months to come what’s actually in it,” said Flake. “This is unacceptable. We promised to do better.”
