This article from KSL discusses the benefits that the bill to end the government shutdown has on the states and federal agencies. It talks in very positive terms discussing topics like more money to "upgrade the Olmstead lock on the Ohio River", more money to aid in the floods that have happened in Colorado specifically in their roads: the flooding had "destroyed 200 miles of roads and 50 bridges." The article also points out that the bill is now helping to fund the Veterans Affairs Department and to "prevent the furloughs of air traffic controllers and safety inspectors" as well as money for organizations working with a couple of weather satellites. In addition, the article says the money provided because of this new bill is helping the progression of the search for Joseph Kony, the transportation of troops and equipment over seas as well as funding $36 million for firefighting departments.
The shutdown of the government really was a scary thing. To think that the governemt was just at a standstill with nothing happening and people losing money every day it was shut down was disheartening to the well being of our country, as well as the faith people had in their politicians and the trust that good decisions were being made in Washington. So, I was glad to read this article and see that there is some good coming out of the shutdown. I was glad to see that there's some move toward progression after our government halted progression for 16 days.
