WASHINGTON, June 19 -- Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Kentucky, issued the following news release:
The first four federal funding bills for fiscal year 2020 (FY20) skyrocket spending by $176 billion above current budget caps and fail to address the crisis at our southern border. Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) said the nearly $1 trillion appropriations package, led by the Democrat-controlled House, misses the mark on a number of priorities, including national defense and pro-life policies.
