Capito: Appropriations Bills Support Key West Virginia Priorities

Press Release

Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said that approval of two appropriations bills today shows a commitment to our elderly veterans, underscores the need for long-term infrastructure improvements, and bolsters forward-thinking technologies in West Virginia and across the country.

Today, the committee considered and passed the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies and the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Acts for FY 2016. Both include several key priorities that are of importance to West Virginia.

"Governing is about setting priorities and bringing fiscal responsibility to the federal government while ensuring that it provides necessary investments and services," said Senator Capito. "The Senate is back to work for the American people, debating appropriations bills and prioritizing crucial funding for our country and our state."
