Wednesday: Spending bill, VA
Lawmakers are expected to pass a short-term spending bill Wednesday, hours before a potential shutdown.
The Senate is expected to take a final vote at 10 a.m. on the spending bill that will fund the government through Dec. 11.
{mosads}Federal funding for Planned Parenthood is also included, despite Republican-led efforts to strip it from the bill.
While the House is expected to vote on the legislation later Wednesday, votes haven’t been scheduled.
Meanwhile, the House will also take up a Senate-passed bill on the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing for a VA hospital in Colorado to be finished.
