Statement From Congresswoman Hochul On Passage Of Continuing Resolution

Statement

After passage of today's Continuing Resolution that averted a massive government shutdown, Congresswoman Hochul issued the following statement:

"The House just voted for a Continuing Resolution that ensures the government will continue to run through November 18th. I supported this measure since it not only helped avoid a massive government shutdown, but did so without balancing the budget on the backs of American families who have been victims of natural disasters. Under the original Republican plan, FEMA assistance for disaster victims would have been pitted against American workers and job creators. But today's Continuing Resolution was about funding our government, while still providing vital services to disaster victims."
