House Democrats passed a massive $447 billion appropriations conference
report Thursday to fund a host of different government agencies in
fiscal 2010.
The
conference report, approved on a 221-202 vote, didn't get any support
from House Republicans, who raised concerns about spending increases.
The omnibus was opposed by 28 Democrats, a group that was made up of
mostly centrists. Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) voted "present" on the
conference report because of her opposition to a language in the report
allowing Amtrak train passengers to check in handguns with their
baggage, her office said.
