Local Coast Guard families meet with Congressman Panetta
Friday would mark the second paycheck missed by workers effected by the government shutdown. The Coast Guard is one of the essential government positions that has continued to operate during the shutdown without pay. The Coast Guard is the only branch of military that hasn’t been paid during this partial shutdown.
Friday, Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) met with Coast Guard families and leadership in Monterey.
Tonight on KION News Channel 5/46 Drew Andre speaks with Congressman Panetta about the deal President Trump says has been reached to end the government shutdown, and the impact it’s having on our local Coast Guard service members and their families.
