Senate work on stimulus bill nears end
The U.S. Senate is expected to take a procedural vote on the federal stimulus package today, which could lead to a vote on passage tomorrow. Senators made cuts to the package passed in the House, including cutting $40 billion for state fiscal stabilization, $2 billion for broadband funding, and $600 million for Title I school funding.
Once the bill is passed by the Senate, it will go to a conference committee to iron out a final compromise between the House and Senate.
