BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The threat of a government shutdown has been averted after the Senate passed a temporary funding bill and sent it to President Joe Biden to sign.
After voting to fund the government, Idaho Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo released a joint statement.
"Government shutdowns hurt taxpayers," said Risch and Crapo. "This legislation will keep the government's lights on while ensuring our troops and border agents receive the pay they have earned. During this time, we will continue to advocate for a long-term funding solution that saves taxpayer dollars and serves the needs of Idahoans."
