The Vote That Ended The Government Shutdown Until Feb. 8, 2018

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

(Please click on red links & note magenta)
This afternoon, three days after the government officially shut down at midnight of Friday (Jan. 19, 2018), the Senate voted with an outcome of 81-18 on a short term spending bill to reopen the government and fund it for the next three weeks, through Feb. 8, 2018. The bill is heading toward the House, and then to be signed by President Donald Trump in order for it to become the law. The two Republicans, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah joined 16 Democrats to vote against the bill. Each day of the government shutdown is costing $900 million+.
