Now, lawmakers have until 9 p. M. Our time to come to an agreement on some sort of spending bill. If they dont get it done, it will mark the fourth shutdown in the past decade. Turning now to the bay area and American Icon being remembered this morning. Dianne feinstein served 31 years in congress.

I do so, as i say personally as a friend, neighbor and fellow san franciscan. All of us do so with great pride as the great senator she has been to our state to here in San Francisco. It was more than close to her heart. She stayed on top of San Francisco. Go through the personal contacts, personal relationships, and her regular return to the city. Many say feinsteins legacy of advocacy and breaking glass ceilings will live on. She was the first female president of the San Francisco board of supervisors was during that time that she led the city through the assassinations of then mayor George Moscone and supervisor harvey milk. She then went on to become mayor of the city herself. Again the first woman to have the role. She stepped up. She led with courage. She worked hard for this city. She was a beacon of hope and inspiration during a very dark and tragic time, she ultimately became a california senator in 1992, a position she was planning on retiring from in 2025.
