WASHINGTON – The Senate Tuesday blocked consideration of a bill opposed by business organizations that would have made it harder for employers to pay women less than their male co-workers.
The vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act was 49-50 with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed. At least 60 votes were needed to end the filibuster and move the bill to the floor for a vote.
The legislation passed the House 217-210 in April along party lines as well, and is supported by President Joe Biden. The House passed similar bills in the past only to see them die in the Senate like this one.

MADISON, WI (WHBL) – There’s a push at the Wisconsin Capitol to have people in the state once again look for work in order to get unemployment benefits.
State Senator Steve Nass says there are jobs going unfilled because the state’s Department of Workforce Development no longer requires people to apply for jobs in order to keep their unemployment benefits. Nass says with so many employers looking for people, anyone on unemployment should have no trouble finding a job.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is calling for states to stop giving the unemployed an extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits. The Chamber says with that extra boost, about one in four unemployed workers are earning more staying home than they would working at a job.
