Jared Golden Says Reconciliation Bill Needs Work

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) writes in the Portland Press Herald that he doesn’t support the budget reconciliation bill yet:

“I strongly support the bipartisan infrastructure bill and think the House should pass and send it to the president immediately. As for the separate $3.5 trillion draft reconciliation proposal in the House, while there are many worthy policies under consideration, I cannot support it in its current form, nor does it currently have the votes to pass in Congress. While those may be difficult realities for some to acknowledge, there is a silver lining: There is still time for us to get it right.”
