Continuing Resolutions Appear Necessary for Appropriations Bills

08/21/2023

Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in discussion with members of the House currently on an undeserved vacation now realizes the impossibility of passing eleven appropriations bills in as many days when Congress reconvenes.  In order to prevent a government shutdown, on September 30th, continuing resolutions will be necessary.

 

Senator majority leader, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has communicated with his counterpart in the House and they have an agreement in principle to provide temporary funding for federal government departments.  There appears to be more bipartisanship in the Senate than the House where "culture wars" among the extremes of both parties threaten the resolution of funding.
