Week of 01.20.2018 Senate Democrats Shut Down the Government
Friday night, Senate Democrats shut down the government, putting partisan politics ahead of the needs of our troops and the American people. Members of the Western Caucus and the Administration have not been shy about placing the blame squarely where it belongs -- Senate Democrats own this Shutdown.

The House has Acted to Fund the Government
The House of Representatives passed legislation for all 12 appropriations bills necessary to fund the government in fiscal year 2018 and passed two short-term extensions to allow the Senate to try and get their work done and fund the government. Meanwhile, the Senate has passed one short-term extension and 0 of 12 appropriations bills. The Senate is currently comprised of 51 Republicans and needs 60 votes to fund the government and pass appropriations bills. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats refuse to work for the American people and reach across the aisle.

On Thursday, Rep. John Curtis (UT-03), introduced the Rural Broadband Permitting Efficiency Act. This legislation streamlines the permitting process and spurs economic development in rural communities.
Vice-Chairman Scott Tipton (CO-03) stated, "Having access to reliable and fast broadband is critical to the success of every American family, student and small business. Unfortunately, the digital divide between rural and urban America is significant, and we must take action to make sure rural America is keeping up," said Tipton. "Redundant permitting laws and regulations often hold up broadband projects, especially in rural areas, which in turn discourage providers from pursuing these projects. That's why I am proud to cosponsor critical legislation that will streamline broadband projects in highway rights-of-way and ultimately increase broadband access across Colorado and the entire country."
Chairman Paul Gosar (AZ-04) said, "The last Presidential election showed us that, more and more, there are two Americas - and rural America feels left behind. Basic services like broadband internet represent the minimum of what is necessary to participate in the 21st century American Dream, but too often rural communities are boxed out of reliable internet access by our own government's convoluted, crawling approvals process for deploying broadband infrastructure. Congressman Curtis' Rural Broadband Permitting Efficiency Act solves many of these problems. Rural America deserves to be on equal footing with the rest of the country, and I thank Mr. Curtis for working to bridge that infrastructure gap," said Gosar.
