Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) released the following statement on the end of the Republican shutdown.
“Now that the shutdown is ending, it is time to ensure air traffic controllers, aviation safety inspectors, TSA workers and all federal employees get the backpay they deserve as soon as possible,” Ranking Member Larsen said. “The President’s attack on air traffic controllers’ patriotism this week was unhinged — they deserve unconditional gratitude and compensation for the essential work they do to keep our skies safe. I am committed to rapidly?unwinding the major disruptions the traveling public has been put through due to the Republican shutdown.”
