FY15 THUD Full Committee Markup Bill Summary

Statement

Date: June 5, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Senator Parry Murray (D-WA), Chairman of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, said:

"This bipartisan bill was written with input from Senators on both sides of the aisle, and I'm proud we came together on a responsible approach that makes critical investments in our communities during a time of budget constraints. This bill continues our investments in roads and bridges, railroads, public transit systems, and airports, and makes critical investments to protect the safety of crude oil shipments. This bill also makes crucial investments in community development and affordable housing programs and preserves an essential part of the country's safety net by protecting housing assistance for low-income families and veterans."
