MADISON (NBC 26) — Thursday marks day two of the partial federal government shutdown—and senate will not be in session, meaning there will be no opportunity for votes that could re-open the government.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin lawmakers are weighing in on the impact the shutdown will have and who is at fault.
During a visit to ADVOCAP, a nonprofit dedicated to providing services to low income families, in Oshkosh Wednesday, Governor Tony Evers expressed his concerns. "Anytime you see the federal government shutdown, that's a loss for us. I mean, we have a federal government for a purpose, and that's to do the work for the people of the country," Evers said. "Hopefully it's short lived and it doesn't impact organizations like this."
