Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) voted with Democrats against the Oversight Committee Republicans’ budget reconciliation markup, which would cut pensions and take-home pay for federal workers in an effort to reduce the national deficit by $50 billion over the next 10 years.

After a six-hour markup, Republicans passed the budget reconciliation bill by a vote of 22-21.
