发帖数: 731 | 1 WASHINGTON – On a bipartisan vote, the House Thursday passed a yearlong
government funding measure cutting $38 billion from the budget and closing
out sometimes quarrelsome negotiations between the Obama administration and
Republicans dominating the House.
The measure passed by a 260-167 vote in which 81 Democrats made up for
defections from dozens of GOP conservatives, many elected with tea party
backing. The Senate was poised to vote later Thursday and the president has
said he'll sign it into law.
The bill cuts community health programs, grants for state and local police
departments, the Environmental Protection Agency and community development
grants, a favorite program with mayors of both political parties |
