WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) in reintroducing the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation which would help close the wage gap between women and men working the same jobs. On average, women make just 78 cents for every dollar made by a man.
Washington- Today, House Republicans released their latest 10 year budget plan which includes repealing the Affordable Care Act, cutting billions of dollars from Medicaid, and shrinking Pell Grant allowances.
"Once again the Republicans are trotting out old ideas to do new damage to seniors, children and families," said Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13). "This budget is a that statement embodies their values, which clearly puts big tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy ahead of the challenges faced by hardworking American families."
Washington, DC– Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) urges his Republican colleagues in the House to approve a "clean" long-term bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
"Enough is enough," said Congressman Boyle. "The clock is ticking and the time to act responsibly is now. Our Homeland Security Department cannot afford three more weeks of Republican uncertainty, now is not the time to kick the can down the road. The country needs long term funding for DHS passed now."
February 7, 2015- Two area congressmen said Friday that the Navy's repeated delays on off-loading the former Willow Grove air base were having a ripple effect on the ability of local, state, and federal agencies to plan for the future.
Reps. Patrick Meehan and Brendan Boyle said the continued delays on transferring the 850-acre base were hindering planning for school enrollment, transportation projects, and attracting real estate and business investment.
I come to the floor today to add my support to the budget that the Administration has just proposed. It recognizes that the middle class is the true engine of economic growth. American workers are capable of creating world-beating value if they are permitted some opportunity, some modest investment, and a fair tax environment that rewards them for their labor. We ‘ve already had a preview of the opposite approach: of letting our citizens fend for themselves in the economic "state of nature" known as austerity.
