Congress Kicking the Can Down the Road Once Again

 02/15/2022

On Tuesday, February 8th the House voted 272 to 160 to pass a Continuing Resolution to fund government at current levels through March 11th avoiding the February 18th deadline.  The Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Patrick Leahy (D-VT) have apparently agreed on a framework for an omnibus FY2022 spending bill.

 

The House has passed nine of twelve annual appropriations while the Senate has neglected to pass a single bill.

 

Failure to pass a Continuing Resolution in the Senate will result in a shutdown at midnight today.  The fiscal year ends on September 30th 2022.
