WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) today released the following statement on his opposition to the fiscal year 2018 omnibus appropriations bill:

“This $1.3 trillion bill continues Congress’ pattern of fiscal irresponsibility. At a time when our national debt has surpassed $20 trillion, we have to get serious about reining in our debt and addressing out-of-control spending. I can’t support this omnibus.”
