Negotiators report progress toward 2022 spending deal
| Senate and House negotiators say they are getting closer to a deal on setting the top-line spending number for an appropriations package to fund government past Feb. 18 and avoid a shutdown.
The top Democrats and Republicans on the Senate and House Appropriations Committees met Thursday morning to chart a path for reaching agreement on a fiscal year 2022 omnibus government funding bill and said they would meet again soon. Negotiators in the so-called “Four Corners” say they’re optimistic about reaching an agreement. |
