Issues: Transportation Government Budget and Spending Housing and Property

Today, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced the Committee has rejected President Trump's proposed cuts to critical transportation and housing programs, and instead approved multiple investments important to Washington state. The Fiscal Year 2018 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill now moves to the full Senate.

"Today, a bipartisan group of senators came together to reject President Trump's short-sighted cuts to the kinds of investments that make a real difference to families and workers in Washington state and around the country," Sen. Murray said. "Whether it's infrastructure investment, affordable housing, education, or medical research, I will keep fighting to make sure the federal government continues to be a good partner to the communities we represent."
