WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Jodey Arrington (TX-19) released the following statement: 

“What we need is temporary and targeted assistance for working families and incentives to fully reopen our country and economy, not marijuana banking, union pension bailouts, and tax breaks for the liberal donor class from New York and California,” said Arrington.

“This legislation is simply more pot smoke and mirrors from Speaker Pelosi. While millions of Americans suffer from forced shutdowns, this bill sends stimulus checks to illegal immigrants, directs taxpayer funds for small businesses to Planned Parenthood, and pays people more to stay on unemployment rather than return to work.”

“While we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good when negotiating COVID relief legislation, we must resist accepting any deal that recklessly increases our deficit spending on irresponsible, nongermane policy proposals.”
