House Moves Ahead on Short Term Funding Bill

“House and Senate appropriators from both parties negotiated throughout the weekend on a ‘topline number’ for the FY 2022 spending bills. But the two sides didn’t come to an agreement,“ Punchbowl News reports.

“So with no deal in hand, the House is expected to vote on a short-term funding bill this week. Leaders are discussing March 11 as an expiration date for the continuing resolution, but like everything else about this appropriations season, it’s not finalized yet. The Senate could take up the CR this week or next, depending on how quickly the House acts. Funding expires on Feb. 18.”
