Washington, D.C. — Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY24. Congresswoman Celeste Maloy voted in favor of this spending package. Following the vote, she released this statement: “I voted for the first package of spending bills, because I think it’s a good step toward a better budgeting process. This is not a 7,000-page omnibus package negotiated behind closed doors that no one has ever read. Members were involved as these bills went through committee hearings and the amendment process over the last year. I hope that we can ultimately return to regular order where we vote on each spending bill separately. But for now, it’s time to pass the next package of spending bills and start working on the budget for fiscal year 2025.” |
