Issues: Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), chair of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee, issued the following statement regarding the Appropriations Committee's approval of the FY2016 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) appropriations bill and the FY2016 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) appropriations bill today.

"The Senate has taken up the annual appropriations bills several months earlier than in recent Congresses, which is good news for the American people. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I am working to ensure that West Virginia's priorities are considered when our nation's spending decisions are outlined," said Senator Capito. "From infrastructure programs to black lung clinics and career training for our displaced coal miners, these two bills secure funding for many of our state's key health, education and transportation programs."
