Labrador, Simpson split on $$$ bill

• Item: Senate sends $1.8T spending bill to Obama /The Hill

Rep. Raúl Labrador, R-Idaho, issued the following statement on the end-of-year omnibus spending bill, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016:

The U.S. House has overwhelmingly passed an omnibus year-end spending bill on a vote of 316-113; Idaho 2 ^nd District GOP Rep. Mike Simpson applauded it as including “many critical wins for Idaho and western states,” while Idaho 1 ^st District Rep. Raul Labrador, who voted no, decried it as “an abject failure for Idaho.” The bill, a bipartisan spending bill, is up for a vote in the Senate today and President Obama has said he’ll sign it; it keeps the government running through September 2016 and avoids a threatened government shutdown/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
