The next step in the federal budget process will be debate over the omnibus spending bill. The budget bills set the priorities, the appropriations process sets the actual spending.
South Dakota Congresswoman Kristi Noem says they should have an open process…………

Noem says there is the possibility that some members may have to make some tough votes…..

Noem says they also have a chance to set policy thorough this process……

That process has to be wrapped up by November 20th, before the Thanksgiving break.
