The House plans significant cuts to the Capitol budget as Republicans seek ways to reduce overall federal spending in 2024.
A House panel Wednesday will advance a $5.3 billion spending plan for the Capitol that boosts police spending while cutting the Architect’s office by nearly 30%.
The cut in Capitol spending helps the GOP-led House in its quest to lower federal spending across the board. The legislative branch measure would slash funding for House operations by 4.5% despite some spending increases, including a big boost for the Capitol Police. Salary increases for uniformed officers and civilian personnel are the drivers behind the funding bump, bringing the total budget to $780 million. Police salaries make up the bulk of the branch’s funding at $588 million.Mr. Amodei said the additional funding for the police will pay for up to 2,200 new officers.
