No End in Sight as Partial Shutdown Hits 24th Day

With the partial shutdown now in its 24th day, making it the longest shutdown in history by far, there is still no in sight.  The two sides– the White House and the Congressional Democrats– have dug in their heels and no other meetings have been scheduled.

It was widely reported last week that a sizable number of the federal employees impacted by the shutdown did not receive their paychecks last week.  While some parts of the country may not yet have been impacted by the shutdown, the Washington Post reports on what else could be impacted in the days and weeks to come.
