Washington Post: "The Senate took a key step Wednesday to withhold members’ pay during government shutdowns, a move that some lawmakers hope will give their colleagues fresh incentive to avoid them. .... "Senators voted 99-0 to advance the resolution, introduced by Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-Louisiana). Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska) did not vote. The Senate still must take several more votes to pass the resolution unless lawmakers agree to speed up the process, but the unanimous vote on Wednesday suggests it will clear the chamber easily." Well that's something. Can anyone imagine the House doing the same?
