This was a vote on an amendment offered by Rep. Blackburn (R-TN) to the bill providing fiscal year 2010 funds for energy and water development. The amendment would have made a 5% across-the-board cut in all discretionary amounts in the bill, which would have reduced its total amount by $1.7 billion. Rep. Blackburn noted in her remarks that federal spending on energy and water programs increased by 183% between 2006 and 2009, with the programs funded by the 2010 bill having already $51 billion in stimulus funding and $7 billion in supplemental funding in fiscal year 2009. |
