Plan to fund nine Cabinet departments in dispute
Congress and the administration race to finalize more than 160 billion dollars for the fiscal year ending September 30. The gap centers on education and environmental programs. The Senate backs over half the administration request while House leaders hint at a compromise. Disagreement remains over wetlands development and policing program changes. The budget stalemate has triggered two partial shutdowns and multiple stopgap measures, with the latest extension due Friday and Senate and House members voicing frustration.
