Congress OKs stopgap bill
With a $410 billion catchall spending bill stalled in the Senate and a midnight deadline looming, Congress rushed through stopgap legislation Friday to keep the government running for another five days.
The House passed the bill and the Senate acted by unanimous voice vote.
President Obama signed the measure later in the day, White House officials said early Friday evening.
The stopgap measure was needed because on Thursday night, Senate Republicans unexpectedly put the brakes on the sweeping measure.
The so-called omnibus bill would award domestic agencies with big spending increases and it also contains about 8,000 pet projects sought by lawmakers.
The House resolution passed 328 to 50.
Here is how Inland Valley's lawmakers voted:
Yes: Reps. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, David Dreier, R-San Dimas, and Grace Napolitano, D-Santa Fe Springs.
No: Reps. Ken Calvert, R-Riverside, and Gary Miller, R-Diamond Bar.
