Here’s a statement by Republican Chris Collins (NY-27) on his vote. A workmate sent me this. Sigh...

“It is my responsibility to Western New Yorkers to ensure the funding needed to guarantee their security is provided,” said Congressman Collins. “Political theatrics should never endanger Americans’ safety. Today I voted to make sure that did not occur.

“Lurching from one crisis to the next might make for lucrative political fundraising, but it does not make for good government. It is time we end the political ‘Groundhog Day’ and fulfill the jobs we were elected to do; creating an environment conducive to job creation and addressing the needs of the people who elected us.”
