FAA Bill: Congress is Back to Business as Usual

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN-05) released the following statement on her “no” vote on H.R. 3935 - Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, legislation reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the next five years. 

“Unfortunately, the DC swamp prevailed again – back to "four corner" deals among Republican and Democrat leadership from both chambers,” Spartz said. “No amendments were allowed to pass in the committees of jurisdiction or rules. Just a few conservative amendments were allowed for messaging on the floor, which were meant to be defeated. They even figured out how to use some archaic and hard-to-explain rule to kill an amendment. I cannot support this charade and hypocrisy from Republicans.”
