House approves first government funding bill since electing new speaker
(Worthy News) – One day after electing Louisiana GOP Rep. Mike Johnson as the new Speaker of the House, the lower chamber of Congress approved the first of a series of government funding bills, advancing legislation on energy and water issues.
The chamber approved the plan in a 210-199 vote, with only Colorado GOP Rep. Ken Buck breaking Republican ranks to oppose it, according to The Hill. The bill cuts more than $5 billion in spending, though Buck had sought to keep the bill’s funding at 2019 levels.
Thursday’s bill would fund the Department of Energy while slashing climate and renewable energy projects and rescinding Biden administration water regulations. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
