Hoyer Statement on Senate Action to Block Vitter-Bennett Census Amendment

WASHINGTON, DC - House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on the Senate's action to block the Vitter-Bennett census amendment:
 
“I stood with Members of the Tri-Caucus last month to register our strong opposition to the Vitter-Bennett amendment. This purely political provision would have come at a significant fiscal cost and put the accuracy of the 2010 count at great risk. I applaud the Senate in taking this action to reject this grossly irresponsible amendment.”
