Brecheen votes against debt spending
By Congressman JOSH BRECHEEN
On Wednesday, I voted “no” on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2027. While I support providing for a robust national defense, I could not in good conscience vote for this legislation as it authorizes a $263.4 billion (29.6 percent) increase over the authorized level for the previous fiscal year. Looking to history, we know that once a level of spending is authorized, appropriators will rarely provide less funding than the maximum allowed. Furthermore, departmental funding baselines almost never decrease over time.

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission recently approved the county improvements for roads and bridges (CIRB) plan for fiscal years 2027 to 2030.
