Senate expected to pass bipartisan budget deal
Dec. 18, 2013 – The Senate is expected to vote today on a bipartisan, House-passed budget deal for fiscal 2014 and 2015.
The Senate voted 67-33 on Tuesday to move forward on the package. That vote cut off the opportunity for a filibuster and sets the stage for a vote on passage.
Twelve Republican senators voted with Democrats to advance the bill, including: Tennessee's Lamar Alexander, Missouri's Roy Blunt, Georgia's Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, Maine's Susan Collins, Arizona's Jeff Flake and John McCain, Utah's Orrin Hatch, North Dakota's John Hoeven, Wisconsin's Ron Johnson, Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Ohio's Rob Portman.
The deal sets discretionary spending at $1.012 trillion for the current fiscal year and $1.014 trillion in fiscal 2015. The House passed the bill last week with a vote of 332-94, before ending their session for the duration of the year.
The Senate is still expected to approve the House-passed defense authorization package as well. Votes on nominations, including that of Janet Yellen to chair the Federal Reserve, are also expected.

It takes about 30 times for a board to start to be in a new conversation before they start to get their brain rewired to embody the change [07:24] In merger conversations we lose sight of what is important for the member. We need to look at what the continuing organization will look like and what is the leadership the membership and continuing organization need and deserve. [12:39] An educated board and executive team are a sharper team. When you have sharper leaders in the organization good things come from that. [24:22] If we are not taking care of that relationship with the CEO then we are strategically hampered. With a good CEO evaluation, the board is higher performing, the CEO is more attentive to being high performing, and the relationship is high performing and more genitive.
