Burgess Statement On Homeland Security Appropriations Vote
Washington,
Jun 24 -
“I hear from North Texans every day who are tired of the reckless way in which Washington has been spending their hard-earned money lately. Have no doubt, I take the issue of our country’s national security very seriously. However, this bill contained too much duplicative spending that was already included in the stimulus package passed in February, and unfortunately, when given the chance to eliminate that spending, the Democrat majority decided to continue to spend your money unchecked. For this reason, I voted ‘no’ on this bill.”
Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D., is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and three of its subcommittees: Health, Energy & Environment, and Oversight & Investigations. He is also a member of the bipartisan, bicameral Joint Economic Committee. Prior to becoming a member of Congress in 2002, Congressman Burgess practiced medicine in North Texas for over 25 years.
