FAA Shutdown Cost Government $250 Million In Taxes

Senate Democrats will offer a plan to end the semi-shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, in which they'll agree to go along with a Republican plan for deep cuts in subsidies to rural air service. Meanwhile, the partial shutdown of the FAA has, so far, cost the government $250 million in airline ticket taxes the agency is unable to collect. Some 4,000 employees remain furloughed.
