Larsen Votes for Short-Term Spending Measure to Prevent Government Shutdown
Washington, DC,
March 1, 2011
Today, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02), voted in favor of a short-term Continuing Resolution cuts spending by $4 billion while continuing to fund the government through March 18th. “The bottom line is: we can not afford a government shutdown that will deprive hardworking families, seniors and veterans of the critical services they count on to get by from day to day. I supported this short-term budget fix so members of Congress can work together to reach a bipartisan agreement for how to implement a forward-thinking plan that invests in our economic growth and helps tackle our debt and deficit.” ### |
