With just hours to spare, Congress this weekend passed a temporary funding bill that will at least delay a government shutdown until mid-November. The bill passed the U.S. House with broad bipartisan support, particularly in the Senate, but Tennessee Republicans were among the few lawmakers to vote against the measure. Lawmakers will need to pass a dozen long-term funding bills within 45 days, or approve another temporary measure, to avert a government shutdown that would disrupt services ranging from veteran benefits to national parks.
