Do You Agree with George Miller's Statement on 'Fiscal Cliff' Budget Deal?
El Cerrito's representative in the House called the deal a "solid agreement that paves the way for important, although, difficult decisions in the next few months ahead."
Congressman George Miller (D-Seventh District) issued the following statement Tuesday regarding the vote on the “Fiscal Cliff” budget deal:
"Tonight in Congress the important art of compromise was revived, an art that had been stifled since the Tea Party took over the House two years ago. I voted for the bi-partisan compromise fiscal cliff agreement to prevent a tax hike on the middle class, to increase tax rates on the wealthiest, and to continue unemployment insurance, tax credits for low-income families and small businesses, and investments in renewable energy. Not a perfect deal, clearly, but a solid agreement that paves the way for important, although, difficult decisions in the next few months ahead."
