UPDATE: House kills 4 amendments
The House shot down four proposed Republican-backed amendments to the budget this afternoon.
And just seconds before sending the budget to the Senate, Republicans stopped it from being moved down the hall so two more amendments could be considered.
Republicans expressed frustration that Democrats are trying to quickly pass the $190 million supplemental budget. Democrats want to get a budget enacted tonight to avoid cuts that could take effect on Tuesday.
