WASHINGTON (kELO.com) — Today, Sen. Mike Rounds voted no on a continuing resolution.
He says they are wasteful of tax dollars.
The C-R passed 74-20 in the U.S. Senate.
The resolution funds the federal government through December 20th.
He issued the following statement;
- “Even with an additional two months to work on appropriations bills, Congress has failed again to get its work done – or even show signs of progress. CRs are no way to run a country. They’re wasteful, ineffective, destabilize government programs and could end up hurting South Dakota families. And, they jeopardize our military readiness. Military leaders continue to warn that CRs have a detrimental impact on our ability to train, equip and maintain the force. This should concern us all.”
- “If we’re ever going to stop this reckless practice of not getting our work done on time, we need to send a strong message that enough is enough. The American people expect us to get results, not continue to kick the can down the road.”
Rounds previously voted no on a CR for Fiscal Year 2020 that ran through November 21, 2019.
Sen. John Thune, the GOP Whip, voted for the measure.
