MacArthur’s Statement on Government Funding Vote
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom MacArthur released the following after Congress voted to reopen the government:
I have been saying since before the shutdown that it is terribly irresponsible to close our government for political purposes. The damage to our military and vital government programs is far too great. I am grateful that we have reopened the government and given ourselves a deadline to agree on a long-term funding plan and solutions to our most pressing immigration challenges.
To achieve lasting success and not just another short-term funding bill, every Member of Congress is going to have to trust each other and be willing to compromise with each other a little more. This is how our Republic has thrived for over 230 years.
