Scott Votes No on FY2011 Continuing Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on his No vote on H.R. 1473, the Continuing Resolution for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011:

"I voted No on the Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government for the remainder of FY 2011 because cuts to the social safety net, investments in our future, national security and other necessary functions of government will not balance our budget," said Rep. Bobby Scott. "Had we not passed tax cuts for multi-millionaires last December, we wouldn't need to try to balance our budget on the backs of the most vulnerable today."
