WASHINGTON ― Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reaffirmed her position Wednesday that Democrats would not go along with a House GOP plan to pass packages of spending legislation and then do a continuing resolution for other agencies. Although Pelosi said in September that House Democrats would only go along with Speaker Paul Ryan’s idea to do so-called minibuses in the lame-duck session if it amounted to an omnibus, Pelosi took her hardest line yet against the plan during a press conference at Capitol Hill. “But to do a minibus and a CR is like two derelictions of duty.”“This is really too cute,” Pelosi added. Republicans have been planning on packaging spending bills together when lawmakers return after Election Day. “Ultimately what’s going to happen is the House and Senate are going to be passing an omnibus spending bill,” Ribble said.
