Parry Admonishes Washington Walz For Opposing Line Item Veto

Waseca - With Congressman Tim Walz voting against a bipartisan bill to restore the Line Item Veto, congressional candidate Mike Parry released the following statement:

"This is just the latest episode in Congressman Walz's disturbing pattern of supporting more reckless spending in Washington," said Mike Parry, candidate for Congress. "It's bad enough that Washington Walz rejected a Balanced Budget Amendment, but his opposition to the Line Item Veto proves that he is part of the problem in our nation's capitol. I look forward to the coming campaign and drawing a clear distinction between Washington Walz's love for more debt and larger deficit with my vision for balanced budgets and a government that lives within its means."

The bill was a bipartisan effort put forward by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and the Committee's top Democrat, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.
