Government Executive: Congressional leaders opened the work week sniping at each other over slow-going negotiations on a sweeping government funding bill, scuttling early optimism negotiators could wrap the bill by Monday and pass it in the House by Friday.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the House could work into the weekend to finish the omnibus bill, and blamed the hold-up on Democratic leaders, who he said have not empowered their negotiators to cut a deal. He reiterated, as he said last week, that a short-term continuing resolution could be necessary to avoid a government shutdown and give the Senate time to pass a package next week.
