Senators hold out for Land and Water Conservation Fund reauthorization"
Posted Dec 19, 2018 by Niels Lesniewski @nielslesniewski
"A measure to extend spending authority for several Cabinet departments and assorted agencies through Feb. 8 was hung up in the Senate Wednesday afternoon over a spat involving the Land and Water Conservation Fund and other items left out of the stopgap.
That’s according to Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby, who expressed hope that senators could be convinced to let the measure through the chamber.

Package has little chance of getting to president’s desk"

The revised measure would need 60 votes to get through the Senate, where Democrats have said they’ll vote against it."
