Eastern Washington Budget Requests
I am firmly committed to advancing what is important to Eastern Washington. When requesting specific budget projects, my process adheres to the gold standard of transparency and accountability.
When seeking budget items, I only submit projects that are a priority for the country and a worthwhile expenditure of taxpayer funds. Further, top priority is given to authorized projects. I am against wasteful spending. All the requests submitted are done to the highest standards and meet one or more of the following goals:
- Keeping our communities and nation safe; FY10 National Defense Authorization requests
- Building upon a regional transportation infrastructure; surface transportation requests
- Growing Eastern Washington's agriculture and resource economy through increased research investment
- Developing a robust 21st Century workforce
- Increasing access to quality, affordable health care especially in rural areas
You can click on each of the categories above to see the funding requests that meet those goals. I also look forward to hearing your thoughts about these projects. Send me your thoughts.
