Tonight I voted in favor of a bi-partisan bill to reopen the government, pay our bills and reinstate hard working Americans in their jobs. Though we could have avoided this crisis altogether by voting on this very measure 2 weeks ago, I am relieved it's happening now, said Perlmutter. Additionally, I hope we get to work immediately on finding a bi-partisan budget solution, something like a Simpson-Bowles plan which I support, in hopes of avoiding this type of crisis in the future. This measure also makes available critical emergency transportation funds for road and infrastructure recovery in areas devastated by the floods in Colorado.Rep. Perlmutter worked with members of the House and Senate delegation over the last month to pass legislation to help Colorado rebuild. ### f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
