. “While exact figures vary, public estimates of the current funding lapse suggest $10 billion–$15 billion per week in lost output and economic activity.”Some of the business associations that made the statement include the American Bankers Association, the National Association of Manufacturers, Airlines for America and the U.S. Travel Association. “We urge Congress to swiftly pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the federal government,” the statement continues. “Immediately reopening the government would avert further economic disruption and give Congress and the Administration time to negotiate a longer-term funding package and address other pressing issues.” The statement also says that the longer the shutdown continues, infrastructure projects will be delayed. The business associations also stated clearly that the air traffic controllers are growing more and more stressed. The government has been shut down for 31 days as Congress has been unable to pass a budget to keep the government funded.Sources said they were unable to contact the restaurant's management.Next atmospheric river points at western Washington on Friday, Saturday A backdrop of afternoon blue will highlight our Pacific Northwest fall color nicely on Thursday, but we'll soak it up again with rain by Halloween night.Early sunsets and extra sleep: Washingtonians prepare to switch their clocks It's that time of year to say goodbye to afternoon light, with the earliest sunset of the year expected Sunday at 4:49 p.m. and sunrise at 6:55 a.m.
