House Democrats urged their colleagues to advance FY17 spending bills without policy riders that threaten to derail the appropriations process. More than 172 representatives sent a letter to House leadership, stating, “At a time when our country is confronting a range of urgent challenges, it is critical that the House of Representatives works expeditiously to complete the appropriations process. We believe clean bills – free of controversial policy provisions – represent the best chance to advance appropriations legislation through ‘regular order’ and avoid another harmful political impasse.” Read the letter at: http://1.usa.gov/1MG1k6Y
