Congressman Higgins’ amendment reads, “the Republican Leadership should, to the extent practicable, prioritize the consideration of individual appropriations bills reported by the Committee on Appropriations.” “There are 12 Appropriations Subcommittees, which produce 12 bills. We should therefore have 12 votes,” said Congressman Higgins. “Bundling incredibly disparate bills together in the form of minibus and omnibus spending packages forces representatives to violate core principles and ideological beliefs. This is reflective of a broken and unrighteous budget process.” Since his initial election, Congressman Higgins has advocated for budget reforms, including the independent consideration of all 12 appropriations bills. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
