Scaled-down reconciliation bill still ‘very dangerous’: Rep. Tenney

Democrats continue to negotiate spending package

Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., argued the spending package, even in its new, scaled-down version, is dangerous because it will take power away from the states and will be "federalizing everything" on FOX Business’ "Mornings with Maria."

REP. CLAUDIA TENNEY: I'm grateful that this deal did not pass because even the scaled-down version of the reconciliation package is very dangerous. And the infrastructure package -- which I cannot understand how any Republican is supporting this package -- it is a disaster. It is about implementing the Green New Deal, putting the framework in place for the Green New Deal, and it's just a matter of inserting the money later. And I'm really concerned about that. 

… 

We have paid family leave in New York. What they want to do is completely turn this over into a federal program. So federalizing everything. 

But this is the problem. It's all federalization of our communities and our state, and we have no power left. It's the central theme.
