Senator Schumer on government funding

Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D) Majority Leader: "We're working very hard on getting something done before the deadline, but there is a lot of negotiating left to do. Both sides understand that fully funding the government is extremely important and anything less risks harm to our troops and the federal government's ability to serve the public. We don't want to see that outcome, so both sides must remain at the table and continue working."
