Spending and Economy
As we barrel towards a government shutdown due to Senate Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR), essential programs and services here in Central Washington are now at risk.

On September 30, the federal government’s funding will lapse, and a government shutdown will begin if Congress does not pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to extend current funding levels.
