Third District Congressman Peter Meijer stood with fellow Republicans in voting against what he called “the partisan budget bill disguised as a COVID-19 package.” The bill passed 219 to 212, on a nearly party-line vote well after midnight. Two Democrats voted with all House Republicans in opposing the bill. Oregon's Kurt Schrader and Maine's Jared Golden crossed party lines and voted to reject the stimulus bill, known as the American Rescue Plan.
In a release, Congressman Meijer said the nearly 2 trillion-dollar omnibus has already been ruled out of order in the Senate and is riddled with miscellanies unrelated to the ongoing public health and economic crisis.
