\"GohmertWASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 Tyler’s Louie Gohmert joined other Texas House Republicans at a Washington news conference to discuss their opposition to an amendment to H.R. 1586. The bill, passed by the House Tuesday, provides $26.1 billion in new spending, primarily related to education jobs funding and federal matching funds for Medicaid.

Gohmert and his colleagues call that a violation of the Texas State Constitution — and Gohmert says it adds unnecessary bureaucracy. <\/p>\n
