Sam Graves Statement on Passage of Government Funding Bill

Statement

U.S. Congressman Sam Graves made the following statement after voting to fund the government through fiscal year 2015.

"By passing today's spending measure, we have averted a government shutdown, while also allowing for action to be taken to address the President's executive amnesty early next year when we will finally have a working partner in the U.S. Senate," said Rep. Graves. "This legislation contains many positive provisions for the people of North Missouri, such as reining in the EPA's ability to infringe on private property rights of farmers and ranchers, prioritizing the Army Corps of Engineers funding for navigation and flood control, and increasing pay for our military service members," he continued.
