Statement

Date: Dec. 10, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Today Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen, Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, issued the following statement on the budget conference committee deal:

"This agreement isn't perfect, but it is certainly better than no agreement at all. This difficult negotiation has gone through many phases. The final product replaces part of the job-killing sequester without disproportionally hitting working families, including hundreds of thousands of public servants. It's a small, but good step forward for our country."
