Senate Advances "Minibus" Spending Bills With Illinois Priorities Secured By Durbin, Duckworth
Press Release
Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes
"Bipartisan efforts are necessary to get many meaningful things done in Washington. And right now, the most pressing item requiring a bipartisan effort is passing appropriations bills that finally fund the government forthe next fiscal year. I'm glad the Senate was able to come together to advance these bills, which will benefit families, communities, and the economy in Illinois. I'm hopeful my colleagues in the House will put politics aside, follow the Senate's lead, and govern. Government shutdowns should not be common place in Washington."
