House Passes Stop-Gap Spending Bill
The House of Representatives this morning passed a stop-gap funding bill that would ensure government operations don't run out of money after the end of the current fiscal year on Friday.
The measure was pased at a sparsely attended session, according to Reuters, after the Senate passed its version on Monday of this week.
Now the bill will go to President Obama to be signed and put info effect.
The New York Times notes that "such bills have become a regular feature of government as Congress has had difficulty completing the regular annual appropriations bills in a timely way."
