Voting NO on the Puerto Rico Bill
May 25, 2016
Press Release
Congressman Doug Lamborn has issued the following statement on H.R. 5278, the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act:
"Today in the Natural Resources Committee, I voted no on H.R. 5278. Puerto Rico's out-of-control spending and irresponsible budget practices must end. This bill does not go far enough in implementing pro-growth reforms and protecting the rights of those who have financially invested in Puerto Rico's economy. Unless the people and government of Puerto Rico change their free-spending ways, true economic revitalization will never take place."- Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05)
