My staff and I are committed to helping everyone in the First District return to as normal of a life as possible, as quickly as possible. Please continue to check my website, http://sullivan.house.gov, for up-to-date information on power outages, debris removal, shelter information and other important storm related topics. In addition, if you have storm damage, it is important that you report this damage to the State Disaster Assistance Hotline at 1-866-560-7584. By reporting these damages, you will help the state make a case for additional assistance. The hotline is available daily from 7:00am to 7:00pm. I know that often the number is busy, but I encourage you to keep trying.

Funding the Government in a Fiscally Irresponsible Manner
When Democrats took over as the majority party in the House, they vowed to pass each of the 12 appropriations bills that fund the federal government’s programs individually. Unfortunately, their end product, a massive omnibus spending bill, reeks of fiscal irresponsibility marred with excessive spending. I voted against this legislation because it is roughly $24.3 billion over the President’s request for domestic spending - $24.3 billion which American families are going to have to make up for out of their pocketbooks. One of Congress’s most basic Constitutional roles is to fund the federal government. This omnibus legislation is yet another example of the Democrat majority’s inability to even do that in a fiscally responsible manner. On the surface, the bill looks as though it adheres to President Bush’s $932 billion cap on discretionary spending. However, just below the surface, the bill is overloaded with enough gimmicks that total discretionary spending is pushed to a bloated level that will surely affect each and every taxpayer for years to come.
