Complete Fiscal Year 2003 Appropriations

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to encourage all of my colleagues to complete our work and finalize the fiscal year 2023 appropriations measures.

We have a constitutional obligation to fund government operations, and I also would highlight the vital importance of community-funded projects included in these measures.

Notably, for the incredible law enforcement personnel in the First Congressional District of Indiana, I am grateful for the inclusion of specific funds for the Porter County Sheriff's Office, the Whiting Police Department, and the Gary Police Department. These critical funds will be used for equipment upgrades, including license plate readers and in-car cameras, which will improve the ability of our police officers to protect our communities and increase public safety.

I urge my colleagues to focus on the completing of this necessary work to support our first responders and the economic vitality of our Nation.
