Although the fiscal year technically ended in October, Congress couldn’t come to an agreement on how much to fund the government. Instead, they passed a short-term spending bill that keeps 2018 spending levels and expires Nov. 21.

Howard Schweitzer, Public Strategies Managing Partner, and Michael Bain, Government Relations Principal, discuss how it all may play out.
