The federal appropriations process takes approximately two years, start to finish. Prior to August recess, the House and Senate are about 3/4 of the way through the first step toward passing federal fiscal year 2010 (FY2010.) It doesn't look as though they'll complete the budget by the start of the fiscal year (October 1), but, unlike last year, we won't see continuing resolutions ad nauseam.
Most of the appropriations work is done, and consultants like The Art of Politics now wait to see which projects did or didn't make the cut. One of our clients made the cut! The Senate still has to pass their version of the bill, then conference, then the president has to sign the bill, and then we'll really celebrate
