Deaton Condemns Senator Markey for Taking Salary During Ongoing Government Shutdown
“Leadership means standing with those who are hurting,not cashing in while they suffer.”
Boston, MA – As the partial federal government shutdown continues to leave thousands of workers without pay, John Deaton questions Senator Ed Markey who continues to collect a full taxpayer-funded salary.
Deaton stated, "Air traffic controllers and TSA are doing double shifts without pay because the government is shut down again." Deaton continued, "These are regular hardworking Americans doing critical jobs to keep our country moving. They shouldn’t have to suffer because career politicians can’t get their act together."
Deaton added, “Career politicians like Ed Markey vote to shut government down and they still get paid. He should not be taking a dime while others suffer.”
“Leadership means standing with those who are hurting, not cashing in while they suffer and political grandstanding,” Deaton concluded.
