Hoyer Announces Fifth District Investments in FY 2016 Omnibus Appropriations Bill

Statement

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) today announced that the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (H.R.2029) passed by the House of Representatives included a number of investments that benefit the Fifth District and Maryland. The bill will also fund the Federal government through September 2016.

"While this is not a perfect bill and there are a number of provisions in it I do not support, I'm pleased that Democrats and Republicans compromised and came together on an agreement that will keep the federal government operating," said Congressman Hoyer. "This bill includes some important investments in Maryland's future, ranging from education to modernizing our transportation infrastructure needs. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make stronger investments that benefit the Fifth District, our state and country, and to give budgetary certainty for the federal government."
