In a fast-approaching deadline for a potential government shutdown, House GOP leaders are gearing up for a swift vote on a Senate-passed stopgap measure. Congress has initiated the continuing resolution process earlier than in previous years, with plans for a House vote next week. The Senate has already passed a bipartisan continuing resolution to extend funding to December 11, while discussions continue around the need to fully fund transportation within this stopgap legislation. As the government shutdown threat looms, there are mounting concerns regarding the impact on communities and vital services.
