Boehner Says He’ll Need Democrats to Pass Funding Bill

“As conservatives push back against a bill to fund the government past Dec. 11, Speaker John A. Boehner signaled Thursday that he didn’t expect to make any sizable changes to the so-called ‘cromnibus‘ in order to placate voices to the right,” Roll Call reports.

Said Boehner: “I expect that we’ll have bipartisan support to pass the omnibus.”

“Conservatives are bashing the cromnibus — which would fund all elements of government until October except the Department of Homeland Security, which would be funded until March or February — because it does not block President Obama’s executive action on immigration.”
