SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Senator Mike Rounds says the appropriation’s process must be done by a week from Friday.
Rounds says the Republicans wanted debate on more separate measures while Democrats preferred doing fewer measures at one time.
Rounds speculates that's because Democrats where worried that Republicans would have more opportunity to attach riders to restrict the executive branch of government's overreach, in terms of the regulatory process.
Rounds is optimistic that a deal will be reached before the deadline.
