Today, U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) issued the following statement after the House voted on the government funding agreement:
"I'm pleased that Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate came to an agreement to fund the government. However, that such an agreement could only be reached with the threat of yet another government shutdown is an indictment of our failing political system. Unsurprisingly, the terms of the agreement are far from perfect, but the bipartisan legislation does avert another harmful shutdown and allows us to get back to the important work we were sent here to do."
