(WBAP/KLIF) – Calling the continued partial government shutdown embarrassing for members of Congress, Senator John Cornyn says he hopes the White House and Congress can break the impasse.
“There is a very human cost to all this which unfortunately seems lost in the partisan politics of Washington D.C.,” Cornyn said.
However Cornyn said, when asked, that he has not deferred his salary.
Cornyn says he has no doubt the federal workers who missed their paychecks are wondering how much longer the shutdown will last.
“We need to have Congress and the president do what we do on a daily basis. That is negotiate our differences, come up with a compromise and get our work done,” he said.
