"I am pleased that the House has delivered on their promise to continue to help our neighbors in Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida after a tough year of devastating natural disasters, and that we have also avoided shutting down the government," said Cole."Although another continuing resolution is not the ideal funding measure, a government shutdown would have been much worse and more costlier. It is now up to the Senate to follow through on that same promise and help keep our government running efficiently until January 19th." "For the time being, it is my hope that Congress can find appropriate budget levels for the next fiscal year so that the appropriations process can return to regular order. It is imperative that our federal dollars are being spent efficiently so that our national security, federal agencies and government programs can continue to serve the American taxpayer well." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
