Republican centrists join Democrats on cuts

The House voted on Wednesday to restore $510 million in grants for
first responders.

By DAVID ROGERS


House Democrats and more centrist Republicans joined forces in a
series of spending votes Wednesday, scoring quick wins and sending the
clearest sign yet of second thoughts in the GOP over the depth of
reductions demanded by the party’s new tea party supporters.

In the second day of late-night debate, Republican freshmen again
captured the headlines — tipping the scales against a costly Pentagon
engine program that was the subject of fierce Washington lobbying in
the prior Congress.

But the re-emergence of the centrists is telling, putting the brakes
on further domestic cuts and helping to restore programs backed by the
White House.
