Boehner floats plan to avert a government shutdown
House Speaker John Boehner proposed a funding plan to avert a shutdown by funding most of the government through the end of fiscal 2015 while immigration agencies receive only short term funding. A separate symbolic measure against Obama immigration actions could pass the House this week, though Senate Democrats are unlikely to act. The plan aims to placate fiscal conservatives while facing a Dec. 11 deadline and mixed GOP support.
