Texas Insider Report: Washington D.C. Following Senate passage of the short-term continuing resolution (CR) that reduces federal spending and avoids a government shutdown U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) today issued the following statement:
This continuing resolution is a small step in the right direction and I am pleased that my Democratic colleagues joined Republicans in supporting much needed spending cuts. Now we must build on this and work together in a bipartisan fashion to craft a long-term extension that seriously reins in out-of-control federal spending."
