There is increasing bipartisan urgency in the Senate to cough up emergency cash to cover the financial needs of the Capitol Police and the National Guard
on Friday afternoon. The Vermont Democrat said Capitol Police salaries will be depleted next month and the National Guard will have to cut training absent congressional action.
“The House has taken action to avert this choice by passing the Emergency Security Supplemental to Respond to January 6th,” said House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro and Rep. Tim Ryan , who oversees spending on the Capitol. “The solution lies in the Senate. It is time for the Senate to come to the table, honor the sacrifice of the Capitol Police, and swiftly pass the emergency supplemental.”
House appropriators have so far proposed $603.9 million for the Capitol Police, or a 17 percent budget boost over current levels, in their annual spending bills. But any money through a government funding deal will come far too late, with federal cash set to dry up at midnight on Sept. 30 and Congress unlikely to act in advance before the deadline.
