Today, NGA Chair Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Vice Chair Maryland Governor Wes Moore issued the following statement on the Congressional budget impasse:
“The consistent use of political brinksmanship when it comes to our government funding does not serve our states, territories or our people well.
“It is long past time to stop kicking the can down the road and return to the regular order of debating and passing a budget, but at this juncture, Congress has a responsibility to ensure the government remains operational.
“We urge federal leaders from both sides to work to set aside political games and pass a budget that reflects the values and promises states commit to every day.”
