LETTER: Cortez Masto shows some courage

Regarding Wednesday’s “Shutdown begins as Congress, Trump fail to reach a deal”: I’m not too surprised that the government shut down. Or that Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen — who throughout her campaign promoted herself as the most bipartisan member of the Senate — voted with her Democratic colleagues.
