Senator Al Franken Chastises House Republicans for Holding the Economic Recovery Hostage


Al Franken Chastises House Republicans for Holding the Economic Recovery Hostage

After voting with a majority of Senators to reject the latest spending bill from the House of Representatives, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) issued a statement chastising Republicans for holding the economic recovery hostage.

“Minnesotans do not want a government shutdown. They want us to get things done,” said Sen. Franken. “Republicans in the House continue to insist on holding our economic recovery hostage while they refight the same political battles over and over again. The Senate passed a bill to keep the government running, and it’s time for the House to act responsibly and prevent a government shutdown. We need to get back to doing what we were sent here to do: put people back to work, improve education, and strengthen our economic recovery.”
