House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, today blamed the Senate for Congress’s failure to finish a farm bill.
“I want the farm bill conference to be completed. Chairman Lucas has made a number of good-faith efforts, we can’t get Senate Democrats to the point of saying ‘yes,’ ” Boehner said at a news conference, referring to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., who chairs the farm bill conference.
Boehner made the comments as part of a news conference focused on the economy and did not provide details on farm bill issues.
