In 2013, the government shutdown not only cost our economy $24 billion, but it directly impacted Maine businesses, such as hotels and tourism industries. For example, Acadia National Parks visitation was reduced by 76% in October of 2013 causing a 13% reduction in tourism-related sales. Thats why I voted against shutting down the government so that we can continue to push legislation that will rein in wasteful government spending and lower our national debt in order to help create a better business climate. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
