WASHINGTON — In the last vote of 2022, the House on Friday passed a $1.7 trillion spending package — including dozens of Illinois projects — sending the measure to President Joe Biden to sign.
The measure, often referred to as the “Omnibus” bill because the appropriations cover a very wide range of government activities, was approved on a 225-201 roll-call vote. Nine Republicans — including Illinois members Adam Kinzinger and Rodney Davis, both lame ducks — joined Democrats in passing the measure.
