"Congressional work on finalizing fiscal 2019 spending bills is being delayed until September, even as the Senate remains on track to move its proposed funding for the Interior Department and EPA by the end of this week.
The development has spawned a series of conflicting political predictions over the fate of efforts to finalize appropriations bills before the new fiscal year begins.
House and Senate appropriators said yesterday that differences over how to divide up $1.24 trillion in discretionary spending for the coming year have forced them to delay conference talks this week on the first three-bill legislative package, pushing that work until after both chambers return from their August breaks in September."
