Rosa DeLauro (D): Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro released a statement claiming that the newly proposed bill for the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education departments' funding would slash budgets by $6.8 billion. Since the Majority did not hold a public full committee debate on the bill, DeLauro fears the cuts may go unnoticed or unchanged.
"We should have had a full committee discussion about this bill this week and given ore of my colleagues a chance to voice their opinion on this bill and an opportunity to try and improve it. The cuts to critical programs covering family planning, economic security, mental health, women's health care and education--just to name a very few--are really just reckless and ought to be aired in public, not left to fester behind closed doors," she said.
