Rep. Spartz says Congress is “back to business as usual” with FAA bill

Spartz

On Thursday, Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.-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 D.C. swamp prevailed again – back to ‘four corner’ deals among Republican and Democrat leadership from both chambers,” Rep. 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.”
