The City of Tulsa says it won’t be inconvenienced very much if Congress fails to pass a funding bill meant to keep the nation’s government operating.
In Washington, D.C. on Thursday, almost three dozen Republicans — including Oklahoma Rep. Josh Brecheen — joined Democrats to vote against a latest spending resolution. The plan was endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump, unlike an earlier version that failed.
If lawmakers can’t hammer out an agreement, the federal government will shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Among those most affected will be farmers and disaster victims.
A spokeswoman for the City said there won’t be “major issues” locally since Tulsa is primarily funded by local sales tax and fees, but some federal reimbursements may take longer to arrive.
