We were concerned that we were trying to legislate on an appropriation bill without the authorizing committees doing the work they are supposed to do. I am very pleased that most of these riders were excluded. So we are not going to be talking about potentially damaging provisions that could have been included in herefrom restricting Planned Parenthood to affecting the clean water of this Nation. to affecting the ability of America to respond to the challenges of climate change. to dealing with protection of our workforce through labor laws. to public safety with restrictions that could have been put on gun safety legislation. to dealing with our refugees. All those areas and many more were subject to policy riders that could have been included in this omnibus budget but were not. On the tax front.
