Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Steve Austria (R – Beavercreek) released the following statement about the two week, short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) that passed the House:

“People across America, and especially in Ohio, have spoken very clearly that Washington needs to cut spending. Nobody said these cuts were going to be easy, but they are absolutely essential to help put our country back on a fiscally-sustainable path that will create jobs and strengthen the economy for future generations. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to step up to the plate and show that they are listening to the American people by passing a long-term CR that includes substantive cuts and put us on a fiscally-sustainable path forward.”
