(Worthy News) – The House passed a stopgap funding bill Tuesday to fund the government through Dec. 20, moving one step closer to averting a government shutdown and buying time for a possible resolution of partisan budget disputes that have dragged on for months.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign the continuing resolution after it passes the Senate. House Democrats muscled through the continuing resolution, 231-192, with 10 Democrats voting “nay” and 12 Republicans voting “yea.”
The bill would temporarily extend three Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act provisions and add spending for the 2020 census. The bill also included a spending measure for the Import-Export Bank as well as a provision for a 3.1 percent pay raise for troops. [ Source: Defense News (Read More…) ]
