Lau­ren Boe­bert slams stop­gap pro­pos­al as dead­line approach­es

Rep. Lau­ren Boe­bert (R‑CO) opposed the idea of a con­tin­u­ing res­o­lu­tion that would give the House 30 days to fin­ish the bud­get.
The House has only sub­mit­ted four appro­pri­a­tions bills to set the gov­ern­men­t’s bud­get for the year start­ing Oct. 1. There are eight more that have yet to advance.

The cur­rent bud­get is slat­ed to be less than what Pres­i­dent Joe Biden and his allies strong-armed last year. Some Repub­li­can con­gress­men have count­ed that alone as a win, …
