Sep 20, 2013
Press Release
Washington, DC - Congressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) issued the following comments following House passage of a continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 59) that would fund the federal government into December, defund Obamacare, and prevent a government shutdown:
“My constituents have been very vocal in expressing their displeasure with our spending habits in Washington. They are equally vocal about defunding Obamacare (Affordable Care Act).
“This short-term spending plan gives Congress and the President time to work out the appropriations for the full fiscal year. I would hope that between the CR and the upcoming debt ceiling debate, we can reach long-term agreements.”
