Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) today made the following statement after voting against a $1.1 trillion, 1,665-page omnibus spending package:

"This legislation fails to properly address our $20 trillion national debt and reduce the size and scope of the federal government. As work immediately begins on next year's spending bills, I am hopeful that Congress will follow the regular budget order and work with the Trump Administration to cut spending and change the Washington status quo."
