VOLUME 53 NUMBER 16
Editor’s note: This latest report was as of press time Sunday evening due to an accelerated holiday printing schedule.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official warned Sunday that it’s “very possible” the partial government shutdown stretches into the new year and that how quickly numerous shuttered Cabinet departments and agencies resume doing the people’s business is up to Senate Democrats. “The ball is in the Senate’s court,” acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said. Mulvaney, who is also director of the White House budget office, said he’s awaiting word from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York after the administration on Saturday presented Schumer with a counteroffer in the long-running dispute over funding for President Donald Trump’s promised border wall. Mulvaney declined to detail the offer but said the proposal is between Trump’s $5.7 billion request and $1.3 billion offered by Democrats. A stalemate over the wall led parts of the government to shut down on Saturday when funding for numerous departments and agencies expired. The shutdown was expected to last through Thursday after the House and Senate, which held rare weekend sessions, adjourned until later in the week.

Louisiana law could restore voting rights to more felons
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A new Louisiana law taking effect in March aimed at restoring voting rights to some former felons still under supervision may reinstate the rights to tens of thousands more people than expected. During debate on the bill, the measure’s sponsor said about 3,500 people could regain the right to vote under the legislation. Months later, NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports that advocates and elected officials say that number could be up to 36,000 people. Officials were aware the new law will restore voting rights to people living in the

community on parole with no problems for five years after prison release, along with people on probation for five years. Those groups are fairly small. But legislators, advocates and prison officials say the law might also apply to the majority of people on probation who had their voting rights suspended but haven’t served any time in jail. “You could read that law one of two ways,” said Natalie LaBorde, deputy commissioner with the Department of Corrections. “It’s just not super clear.”

fees and not government spending, will also continue. Virtually every essential government agency, including the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard, will remain open. Transportation Security Administration officers will staff airport checkpoints. The air traffic control system, food inspection, Medicare, veterans’ health care and many other essential government programs will run as usual. The Federal Emergency Management Agency can continue to respond to disasters. Nearly 90 percent of the Department of Homeland Security’s 240,000 employees will be at work because they’re considered essential. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, which is investigating potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, is unaffected by a shutdown. But hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be forced off the job, and some services will go dark. In the past, the vast majority of national parks were closed to visitors and campers, but beginning with the last government shutdown, in January, the Interior Department has tried to make parks as accessible as possible despite bare-bones staffing levels. Some are staying open thanks to funding from states and charitable groups. In Washington, the museums along the National Mall will remain open at least through Jan. 1, but Smithsonian officials said they will reevaluate the situation if the shutdown continues into the new year. The Washington Monument is closed for repairs. Arizona and Utah officials put in place plans to keep open Grand Canyon, Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks. At the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, it was business as usual, thanks to funding from New York state. FEDERAL WORKERS STILL GET PAID — EVENTUALLY While they can be kept on the job, federal workers won’t be paid for days worked during the lapse in funding. In the past, however, they have been repaid retroactively even if they were ordered to stay home. White House offi-
cials said that would be the case again. The Senate already has passed legislation ensuring that workers will receive back pay. The House seems sure to follow suit. Federal employees already were granted an extra day of vacation on Monday, Christmas Eve, under an executive order Trump signed this past week. Federal workers are exempted from furloughs if their jobs are national security-related or if they perform essential activities that “protect life and property.” According to a report by Democrats on the Senate Appropriations Committee, more than 420,000 federal employees deemed essential will continue to work without pay, including about 41,000 law enforcement and corrections officers. The Homeland Security employees who will keep working include about 150,000 from the Coast Guard, TSA and Customs and Border Protection. More than 380,000 employees will be furloughed — including nearly all from NASA and Housing and Urban Development and 41,000 from the Commerce Department. About 16,000 National Park Service employees — 80 percent of the agency’s workforce — will be furloughed. Also among those who will furloughed: 52,000 staffers at the Internal Revenue Service, slowing analysis and collection of hundreds of thousands of tax returns and audits. SHUTDOWNS HAPPEN Shutdowns happened every year when Jimmy Carter was president, averaging 11 days each. During President Ronald Reagan’s two terms, there were six shutdowns, typically just one or two days apiece. Before a three-day lapse in January, caused by Democrats’ insistence that any budget measure come with protections for young immigrants known as “Dreamers,” the most recent significant shutdown was a 16-day partial shuttering of the government in 2013. That one came as tea party conservatives tried to block implementation of President Barack Obama’s health care law. The government also shut down for a few hours last February amid a partisan dispute over deficit spending.

Rights From 1-A
If the more generous interpretation of the law is adopted, that would mean more than half of Louisiana’s 65,000 residents on probation and parole could apply to have their voting rights restored in fewer than three months. The law that takes effect March 1 says “a person who is under an order of imprisonment for conviction of a felony and who has not been incarcerated pursuant to that order within the last five years shall not be ineligible to register or vote.” There is widespread agreement that this new language applies to people on parole and probation who have been out of prison for five years with no major infractions. But most people on probation never go to prison for their offense and are put on community supervision instead. The new language should allow them — even if they haven’t been on probation for five years — to vote as well, said Bruce Reilly, deputy director of Voice of the Experienced, an ex-offenders advocacy group known as VOTE. Gretna Rep. Joe Marino, a lawyer who has no party affiliation, said he thought the law change only applied to parolees when he voted for it last spring, but now thinks it might apply to most probationers. Debate around the bill during the legislative session was almost exclusively about the few thousand parolees that could be affected. Marino said he wishes the law had been drafted more precisely. “This is probably going to be litigated because they are going to have make a call about whether it includes these people or excludes these people,” he said. “I would say it’s not clear.” Corrections and elections officials are meeting next month to hammer out details about the law change. LaBorde said it probably will be up to Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin to determine who gets to vote. But Ardoin’s office seems to have a different take. While the secretary of state’s office wouldn’t comment on its interpre-
tation of the new law, spokesman Tyler Brey said the agency expects to depend on the corrections department to provide a list of who is qualified to vote again. “We don’t actually keep the numbers of people who will be eligible,” Brey said. Ardoin didn’t support the law change to restore voting rights. VOTE intends to sue if Ardoin doesn’t move ahead with the broader interpretation of the new statute. “We have lawyers lined up if we need them,” Reilly said.
Shutdown From 1-A
Monday and Tuesday, Christmas Eve and Christmas, respectively, were federal holidays, meaning much of the federal government would already be closed. Wednesday is the first day taxpayers could begin to feel the effects of a shutdown, Mulvaney said. But he predicted the shutdown could last beyond Thursday, when Congress is next scheduled to come into session. “It’s very possible that this shutdown will go beyond the 28th and into the new Congress,” he said. Democrats held firm Sunday in opposition to paying for a border wall, which was a central promise of Trump’s campaign for president. Sen. Jeff Merkley, DOre., said the administration is sitting on most of the money Congress gave Trump last year for border security, excluding a wall. “If you’re not going to spend nine out of 10 dollars on an issue, you obviously don’t care about it that much,” Merkley said. “This is politics, not policy.” But Mulvaney countered that “the president’s not going to not accept money for a border wall.” On the second day of the federal closure, Trump tweeted Sunday that what the country needs is “a good old fashioned WALL that works,” as opposed to aerial drones and other measures that “are wonderful and lots of fun” but not the right answer to address “drugs, gangs, human traffick-
ing, criminal elements and much else from coming into” the United States. From coast to coast, the first day of the shutdown played out in uneven ways. The Statue of Liberty remained open for tours, thanks to money from New York state, and the U.S. Postal Service, an independent agency, was still delivering mail. Yet the disruption has affected many government operations and the routines of 800,000 federal employees. Roughly 420,000 workers were deemed essential and were expected to work unpaid. An additional 380,000 were to be furloughed, meaning they will stay home without pay. The Senate had already passed legislation ensuring that workers will receive back pay, and the House was likely to follow suit. Unlike past shutdowns, this one seemed to lack urgency, coming during the long holiday weekend after Trump had already declared Christmas Eve a federal holiday. Rather than work around the clock to try to end the shutdown, as they had done in the past, the leaders of the House and the Senate effectively closed up shop. But they didn’t rule out action if a deal were struck. “Listen, anything can happen,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters after he closed the Senate’s rare Saturday session hours after it opened. But after ushering Vice President Mike Pence through the Capitol for another round of negotiations, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said a quick end to the shutdown was “not probable.” Trump had lunch at the White House on Saturday with conservative lawmakers. Absent were GOP leaders or Democrats who would be needed for a deal. The White House said Trump would spend Christmas in Washington because of the shutdown and that his wife, first lady Melania Trump, would fly back from their Florida estate to spend the holiday with him. With Democrats set to take control of the House on Jan. 3, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on his way out, the shutdown was providing a last gasp of the conservative majority before the new Congress. Trump savored the prospect of a shutdown over the wall for months. This past week he said he would be “proud” to close down the government. He had campaigned on the promise of building the wall, and he also promised Mexico would pay for it. Mexico

has refused. In recent days, though, Trump tried to shift blame to Democrats for not acceding to his demand. He has given mixed messages on whether he would sign any bill into law. Schumer and Pence met Saturday at the request of the White House, according to Schumer’s office. But the senator’s spokesman said they remained “very far apart” on a spending agreement. Schumer said the “Trump shutdown” could end immediately if the president abandons the wall. Democrats said they were open to proposals that didn’t include the wall, which Schumer said was too costly and ineffective. They have offered to keep spending at existing levels of $1.3 billion for border fencing and other security. Senators approved a bipartisan deal earlier in the week to keep the government open into February and provide $1.3 billion for border security projects, but not the wall. But as Trump faced criticism from conservatives for “caving” on a campaign promise, he pushed the House to approve a package temporarily financing the government but also setting aside $5.7 billion for the border wall. The impasse blocked money for nine of 15 Cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice. Those being furloughed included nearly everyone at NASA and 52,000 workers at the Internal Revenue Service. About 8 in 10 employees of the National
Park Service were to stay home; many parks were expected to close. Some agencies, including the Pentagon and the departments of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, were already funded and will operate as usual. Also still functioning were the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard. Transportation Security Ad-
