ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — Congressman Marc Molinaro supports the debt relief bill. 

The Republican lawmaker released a statement Wednesday after the House passed the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which has support from both sides. Molinaro, who represents the 19th Congressional district, says the bill raises the debt ceiling until January 2025 and cuts federal spending that he blames for inflation.

The bill now moves to the Senate prior to a June 5 deadline.
