With H.R. 1 rapidly approaching expiration, the House passed on February 19, followed by the Senate on March 2, an extension of the continuing resolution to keep the Federal government running, and funding available until March 18. The delay of two weeks really does not give state leaders much assurance that major reductions to the state-federal spending will be reduced for the current year.
