Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins and fellow appropriators met Friday afternoon to discuss finalizing a package of three funding bills that could ride alongside a continuing resolution for remaining agencies.
“Susan is gonna finish this off soon,” Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) said. He added, though, that Democrats are “dragging their feet” to close out any agreement to reopen the government.
Mullin accused Democrats of moving the goalposts in their funding talks, including in their offer Friday to vote on a three-bill “minibus” and a stopgap funding patch alongside a one-year extension of expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.
“It’s an absolute non-starter,” Mullin said of their demands.
