Maloney: Appropriations bill deliberately underfunds financial services regulators, puts consumer protections at risk

Jul 16, 2014 Press Release
“If the American people want to know what’s wrong with Washington, this year’s Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act would be exhibit A. Instead of trying to protect consumers and investors, the bill completely undermines those protections, and includes half a dozen irrelevant policy riders affecting everything from women’s health to DC’s marijuana laws. “This bill represents the latest Republican attempt to undermine the enforcement of Dodd-Frank and end protections for consumers. The bill denies the funding needed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to root out fraud and abuse. It also eliminates the independent funding stream for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, moving us one step closer to the Republican goal of eliminating one of the few advocates middle-class families can rely on when purchasing financial products..."

Maloney: $14.6 Million for Second Avenue Subway, $215 Million for East Side Access in Omnibus Spending Package

Jan 14, 2014 Press Release

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (NY-12) today lauded a decision by Congressional negotiators to fully fund both the East Side Access (ESA) and Second Avenue Subway (SAS) projects in the omnibus appropriations bill that is expected to be approved later this week. New York will receive $215 million for the ESA and $14.6 million for the SAS. Both figures reflect the funding levels requested by the Obama Administration.

Maloney & colleagues fought cuts in next year’s outlays for transit projects

Nov 15, 2011 Press Release

 

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) noted the inclusion of $186,566,000 in federal funding in next year’s budget for the Second Avenue Subway and $203,424,000 for East Side Access.  While these allocations are less than the amounts requested for the projects in the President’s budget -and what was scheduled to be delivered by the federal government under the full-funding grant agreements for the subway and East Side Access- they are a significant increase from the cuts proposed by Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee.  House and Senate negotiators agreed to the funding amounts last night; the FY2012 appropriations bill for the Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development, which contains the allocations, should be voted on by the House on Thursday.
