"The House [Thursday] passed a minibus spending bill that contains funds for the Interior Department and EPA with no support from Democrats, who opposed the measure en masse over the inclusion of multiple policy riders.

Lawmakers voted 217-199 for the bill, H.R. 6147, which contains the $35 billion Interior-Environment spending bill as well as the Financial Services-General Government bill.

Fifteen House Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing the bill, which saw the addition of dozens of riders targeting Interior and EPA policies and enforcement of key environmental laws during this week's floor debate."
