Washington DC- U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the below statement following the Senate’s vote to reopen the government and avoid default:
“I am grateful that the Senate was able to move forward with a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and avoid default. Pennsylvanians deserve better than the irresponsible brinksmanship they saw over the last few weeks. I hope this experience will help change the tone in Washington and that members on both sides of the aisle will refocus their efforts on creating jobs and strengthening the economy. I intend to work immediately to push bipartisan legislation to help middle class families like my Small Business Tax Certainty and Growth Act.”
