Congress has less than one week to pass another continuing resolution to fund the U.S. government and an ag lobbyist says he’s expecting lawmakers to meet the Friday deadline.
Randy Russell with the Russell Group says the approaches differ with the House attempting a laddered continuing resolution, which means “let’s take four of the appropriations bills, including agriculture, and extend their funding until January. Then, we’ll take the remaining bills and put their deadline at February 2.”
Russell says the Senate wants to pass a straight continuing resolution to keep all bills funded and the government open until December.
