House OKs bill to avoid civilian furloughs
The House passed a nearly 600 billion defense spending bill with amendments to prevent civilian Defense Department furloughs next fiscal year. Provisions bar use of federal funds for sequestration related furloughs and protect employees funded by revolving funds and National Guard and Reserve members. Estimated impact includes about 12,500 Ohio workers at Wright Patterson and up to 9,000 at Columbus Defense Supply Center, with 650,000 nationwide. President Obama likely to veto on budget grounds.
