BOSTON—House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. issued the following statement today in response to the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2012 budget by the House of Representatives:
I am pleased to have cast my vote in support of adopting the Fiscal Year 2012 budget. This piece of legislation is the result of a collaborative effort, and I commend the Chairman of Way and Means for working with the Republican caucus in delivering a fiscally reasonable budget. I look forward to the continuation of an open and transparent debate when this budget comes before the Senate. I am hopeful that the final budget is similar to that of the House budget.
