At 2,009 pages and a cost of$1.15 trillion, it works out to about $572 million per page...in my opinion, a cost too high for those I represent.The bill adds $50 billion to the deficit, doesn't contain key riders - particularly on refugees, and limits our constitutional right to privacy in thecybersecurity arena. At the end of the day, I think the American taxpayer is losing, and accordingly, I will vote against the bill.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://sanford.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/sanford-voices-opposition-to-omnibus-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8467112202197313, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
