WASHINGTON, D.C. (LOOTPRESS) – West Virginia Congresswoman Carol Miller has announced that she will refuse her salary while the federal government is shut down.

“If our troops aren’t getting paid, then neither should Congress. I’m refusing a salary until the Schumer Shutdown ends,” Miller stated.
Miller blames Democrats for the current shutdown, stating that Democrats are holding the government hostage.
“Democrats are holding our government hostage unless their $1.5 trillion wishlist of demands are met. Their shutdown will leave our service members unpaid, put vital healthcare and housing programs for veterans at risk, and jeopardize flood insurance for millions of Americans during hurricane season,” Miller said.
“l urge my Democrat colleagues in the Senate to abandon their ‘obstruction at all costs’ politics and pass this continuing resolution so our federal services can continue operating without interruptions.”
As of Wednesday evening, there has been no agreement made to reopen the government.
