LITTLE ROCK – Second District Congressional candidate, U.S. Army Reservist and former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin today issued the following statement after the Nancy Pelosi-led Congress announced it would forgo passing a budget resolution for FY 2011:
The House of Representatives has never failed to pass a budget since current budget rules were passed in 1974. Under the Budget Act of 1974, Congress was to complete action on passing a budget resolution on April 15.
Griffin has proposed suspending congressional pay when Members fail to meet spending deadlines.
