MENG STATEMENT ON GOP BUDGET BILL

QUEENS, NY - U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) today issued the following statement on the passage of legislation pushed by the President and Congressional Republicans that makes extreme cuts to health care, food assistance and more.

"I stayed in the Capitol all night to vote NO on the GOP's bad budget bill that will slash health care and food assistance for millions of children, seniors and families - just to put more money in the pockets of billionaires.

Americans deserve better than this. My constituents in Queens deserve better than this.

We will keep fighting to stop this bill from becoming law."
