Budget battle tests GOP tight vote in House
In a late night showdown the House narrowly passed the Republican budget plan by 211 to 207 as Rep. James Walsh supported it to move the process forward. Walsh, VA HUD chair, warned the total discretionary spend and a $150 billion five year tax cut were too low but backed the measure to keep negotiations alive. Rep. Sherwood Boehlert praised restraint while noting past debates on balancing the budget and debt payoff.
