Hartzler: Federal employees paying the price for Obama, Senate Democrats' misdeeds

(From Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler)

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (MO-4) has released the following statement regarding the U.S. House vote to provide back pay to federal workers who have been furloughed during the partial government shutdown:

“Many federal employees have been sent home through no fault of their own. These hardworking Americans have bills to pay and food to buy for their families. It is unacceptable that these citizens pay the price for the refusal of President Obama and Senate Democrats to come to the table to negotiate an end to this temporary lapse in funding. I urge the Senate to actquickly by taking up this common sense legislation, approving it, and sending it to the President for his signature.”
