Faso votes to keep government operating
Jan 19, 2018 12:10 am
Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) voted for a short-term government funding bill late Jan. 18, which passed 230-197. The bill, if it passes the Senate and is signed by the president, would keep the government running through March. But passing the Senate and getting the president's signature are totally unknowns. The Senate voted late Jan. 18 to continue debate on the House bill Friday. Current government funding expires at midnight Jan. 19, and Republican leaders have not said they have any back-up plans if this bill fails.
