U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce says he is doing his best to negotiate a stopgap.
A National Park Service employee posts a sign on a barricade closing access to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington during a government shutdown.WASHINGTON, D. C. - As a top Republican on the House of Representatives committee that funds the federal government, U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce says he’s been working “feverishly” on a compromise that will keep the federal government open when funding expires on Oct 1.
Democrats say they won’t back it because it would freeze defense funding and cut almost all other domestic investments by more than 8%. The White House released a statement that said the bill would make “indiscriminate cuts to programs that millions of hardworking Americans count on.” U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat, said nobody in the Senate wants a shutdown, and neither do House Democrats.
In a Monday interview, U.S. Rep. Max Miller, a Rocky River Republican, said he needs to see what’s in the month-long temporary funding bill before deciding whether to support it, but said he’s “doing everything I can on our side to talk to other colleagues on Capitol Hill to avert a government shutdown.”
Toledo Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a top Democrat who serves on the House Appropriations Committee with Joyce, says a shutdown would hurt the economy because government contracting is suspended, as well as all the different grant programs that create enterprise, resulting in economic stagnation.
