WASHINGTON, D.C.(HubCityRadio)- The U.S. Congress Friday passed a CR(continuous resolution) to fund the government through March. After the vote Senator Mike Rounds went to X and tweeted the following:
“The continuing resolution that passed the Senate and House tonight was far from perfect, but it delivered several key wins for America: keeping government open (meaning our troops and other essential personnel get paid through the holiday season), delivering relief for our farmers and bringing disaster relief to communities devastated by hurricanes this fall.
Our budget and appropriations process in Congress has been dysfunctional for far too long. It’s my hope that come next year, we can return to doing appropriations the way we should: working through the committee process and bringing these bills to the floor before the end of the fiscal year, instead of continually kicking the can down the road with a series of CRs and shutdown threats.”
President Biden signed the CR into law Saturday morning.
Senator Rounds will be on the Senate Appropriations Committee for the 119th Congress starting in January.
