U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) released the following statement after voting in support of the fiscal year 2015 appropriations bill, which funds the government through September 30, 2015. The legislation contains full funding for 11 of the 12 regular annual appropriations bills, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is funded under a temporary Continuing Resolution at the current fiscal year 2014 level, and expires in February 2015. “It’s important that we prevent a government shutdown, and this bill adheres to the spending limits established by Congress last December and provides certainty for the remainder of the fiscal year, while also providing an opportunity to address the president’s executive action on immigration when the full Congress is under Republican leadership. In addition to providing critical funding to combat ISIS and Ebola, the bill also includes important policy measures to boost manufacturing, prevent Obamacare bailouts for insurance companies, extend the ban on Internet access taxes, and provide schools with greater flexibility on school lunch mandates.” Read more: 1.usa.gov/1BzhoNy
