Sean Moran Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement that the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) should not be considered in a must-pass spending bill. “Allowing important and potentially controversial legislation to be attached to a must-pass spending bill without proper debate or consideration is business as usual for Washington. This makes it difficult for lawmakers to properly scrutinize the bills and fully analyze the consequences for their constituents,” Cline explained to Breitbart News. “If we want to end the status quo in Washington and best represent the American people whom we were elected to serve, we must ensure that legislation is considered on their own merits, rather than lumped with unrelated spending bills.” |
