Keating’s shutdown hypocrisy
February 7, 2018
When Democrats shut down the government a few weeks ago, Bill Keating was called out for previously recognizing the need to avoid shutdowns.
Well, he voted to shut down the government again last night. Here’s the rundown…
- Keating’s previous shutdown vote held funding hostage for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which 23,253 low-income children in MA-09 rely on for essential health care.
- This time it’s funding for community health clinics. Much like children who rely on CHIP, millions of low-income families with limited access to health care rely on these clinics for care.
Bill Keating has made it abundantly clear that his constituents take a back seat to Nancy Pelosi’s reckless shutdown tactics. We’ll make sure voters remember that in November.
