“I am pleased my colleagues were able to work together and pass a responsible spending bill that invests in many of the nation’s most important priorities while adhering to the bipartisan budget agreement reached in December,” Representative Bill Owens said. “Many of the 21st Congressional District’s top priorities, including increased funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and a measure I drafted that effectively kills a proposed border fee, were included in this bill. I am hopeful the bipartisanship that led to this compromise continues so we can concentrate on passing the Farm Bill and addressing the nation’s most pressing priorities: creating jobs and growing the economy.” 1.usa.gov/1aHrcKm
