Va. lawmakers introduce bill to guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers
By John Bowden - 01/18/18 05:15 PM EST
Virginia Reps. Don Beyer (D) and Rob Wittman (R) introduced a bill Thursday that would guarantee back pay for federal workers affected by a possible furlough in the event of a government shutdown.
In a press release Thursday afternoon, the two lawmakers announced a bill with 40 bipartisan co-sponsors that would guarantee no federal worker loses pay as a result of a possible government shutdown. The federal government runs out of money at midnight Friday.
“We are working hard to avoid a government shutdown, but if it comes our bill would protect federal workers from the worst of the consequences,†Beyer said in the release.

Imagine that bipartisan support for paying government workers with money that doesn't exist? Can't clean the swamps fast enough.
