FY18 #omnibus is far from perfect. By refusing to work w/ us on #DACA, Republicans once again illustrated their unwillingness to protect hardworking #immigrants in search of the American Dream. #Dreamers deserve our support & Dems will continue to push for a vote on their behalf.
While I’m extremely disappointed that the #omnibus didn't include a #DACA solution or bolder steps to combat #gunviolence, I'm pleased with the work the spending bill did to improve national security, medical research, opioid abuse prevention, transportation, job creation & more.
THREAD: From #election security & counterterrorism to #transportation infrastructure & airport noise control, here are a few of the legislative priorities I was proud to secure funding for in the #omnibus as a House Appropriator:http://bit.ly/2IJE6g7
Election Assistance Commission: $380M in new grants to help states fortify election systems.
Resuming robust funding for #EAC grants aimed to improve the cybersecurity defenses of our election infrastructure is a pivotal step forward in protecting our democratic process.
#Chicago #Transportation Funding: Significant increases to transit State of Good Repair grants & Bus and Bus Facilities grants that will allow @CTA to modernize infrastructure & access millions more in federal $ for ongoing capital improvement projects.http://bit.ly/2IJE6g7
Pleased that #omnibus requires #CRSreports to be available for public consumption. We must continue to use 21st century resources & modern technology to implement common-sense measures that help inform the American people.http://bit.ly/2IJE6g7
#Omnibus includes instructions directing the FAA to conduct short- & long-term noise mitigation activities around @fly2ohare Airport and provides 8 new FAA field staff to address noise concerns.http://bit.ly/2IJE6g7
No #DACA no #omnibus @RepMikeQuigley. Time to stand up for #dreamers and stop throwing away @TheDemocrats leverage!
Compromising with the current Ruling Party only ends badly.
I'm pleased that the bill will help in areas like transportation and job creation too, Representative, but it's also too high and will contribute further to a national debt that is already out of control. We need more fiscal responsibility from congress!
