"This legislation also extends critical tax cuts, protecting TX-23 families from a 24% tax hike, and streamlines natural gas permitting to boost energy production in West Texas and lower energy costs.”
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) released the following statement after voting to advance the House budget reconciliation package.
“After four years of disastrous national security and economic policies, we’re putting America back on the right track,” said Congressman Tony Gonzales. “This morning, I voted yes on the House reconciliation package, which includes funding to reimburse our state for Operation Lone Star costs, a priority I’ve fought for since House budget talks began. Through my seat on the House Homeland Security Committee, I helped shape the bill’s border security provisions, which include funding for checkpoint upgrades, new technology and infrastructure, Operation Stonegarden law enforcement grants, and CBP bonuses. This legislation also extends critical tax cuts, protecting TX-23 families from a 24% tax hike, and streamlines natural gas permitting to boost energy production in West Texas and lower energy costs.”
