Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued a statement following his vote in favor of a government funding extension until November 21. He expressed that "Republicans offered Chuck Schumer a clean extension of the current bipartisan spending deal," which he argues would allow time for the regular appropriations process.
Ricketts criticized Schumer for allegedly demanding over $1 trillion in partisan spending, including the elimination of the Rural Hospital Stabilization Fund and the addition of a staffing rule affecting rural nursing homes. He emphasized that Schumer is "recklessly threatening to shut down the government" unless his demands are met, suggesting that Nebraska taxpayers would be disproportionately affected.
