Quiver AI Summary
Committee Action: The U.S. House Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2027 Financial Services and General Government funding bill with a party-line vote of 34-28. Congresswoman Betty McCollum voted against it, citing cuts to the Small Business Administration and the elimination of the IRS direct free file program, which she argues harms working families.
Amendment Defeated: McCollum proposed an amendment to assess the economic impacts of federal immigration enforcement on Minnesota's small businesses, which was rejected by a vote of 31-26. She expressed concerns about the over $128 million estimated losses to businesses in Saint Paul due to Operation Metro Surge.
Statement on Impact: McCollum stated, “Small business owners and workers... are seeking help to rebuild after Operation Metro Surge. Sadly, majority Republicans are choosing to ignore the lasting damage caused to our communities.” Her remarks reflect ongoing tensions regarding economic support for small businesses amidst policy decisions.
