House minority leader Nancy Pelosi of California has announced her opposition to the 2015 omnibus spending bill. Congress is attempting to pass the bill to continue funding for the federal government, which runs out at 12 midnight Friday morning. Without passing this bill or a short-term continuing resolution, the government will necessarily shut down.
In a Thursday afternoon speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, the Democrat and former House speaker she opposed the spending bill because of policy riders that she claims guts financial institution regulation. “What was added to this bill was not the right thing, and that is why, it has bipartisanship, it has good things in it, but it will not have my support,” Pelosi said.
