WASHINGTON | Senate backs wide-ranging spending bill
WASHINGTON— The Senate has approved a catch-all spending bill that funds a wide swath of government programs, from Interior and environment to agriculture, transportation, housing, Treasury and federal courts.
The $154.2 billion measure combines four spending bills into one and brings the Senate more than halfway to completing its 12 mandatory spending bills for the budget year that begins Oct. 1.
The bill was approved, 92-6, Wednesday and now heads to the House, where a similar but not identical measure was approved last month.

He said was grateful senators were willing to sacrifice partisan policy riders that have blocked spending bills in previous years.
