Gillen: The Republican Spending Bill Cuts $30 Million in Direct Support for My District. It’s a Bad Deal for Nassau County.

March 12, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Laura Gillen (NY-04) released the following statement: “The Republican spending bill on the Floor today is a bad deal for Nassau County. If the Senate adopts this bill, it would cut nearly $30 million in direct support to my district, including funding that helps our law enforcement agencies and fire departments keep Long Islanders safe. This bill would hurt health programs for Long Island veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their service and shamefully fails to include a permanent funding fix to the World Trade Center Health Program. This bill is bad for my constituents and bad for Nassau County." The Republican CR cuts nearly $30 million in direct support to New York’s Fourth Congressional that would have been funded by the FY2025 House and Senate appropriations bills released last year.
