House Rejects CR
In a surprise result, the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government after October 1 failed in the House.
Politico reports that the CR failed on a 195-230 vote as some Republicans joined “an overwhelming majority of Democrats.”
The CR, intended to keep the government operating after October 1, is controversial because it halves the amount of money voted by the Senate to deal with recent natural disasters and requires an “offset” — a reduction in federal spending to take account of the disaster relief efforts.
