Statement of AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee On Bush’s Veto of Labor-HHS
“The bill President Bush vetoed today was a carefully crafted, bipartisan effort to fund essential services that promote education, economic development, job training and scientific research. While the president is willing to spend billions on Iraq, he turns his back on the vital services that strengthen America’s middle class. This bill is needed to get America back on the right track. Congress needs to say no to the President’s wrong priorities.”
