Scot Bertram, The House has rejected the latest spending bill

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

One — The FAA is temporarily banning drones over several parts of New Jersey, citing special security reasons.  Unidentified drone sightings have been rampant over the Garden State in recent weeks, causing concern among many residents.  While the federal government has said they have found no threat to national security, the FAA's ban lasts through January 17th.  Let’s see what happens between now and then.

 

Two ---- You’re not seeing things. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile really is visiting the Detroit area this week. The hot-dog shaped vehicle will be in Metro Detroit through Sunday. The Wienermobile will make stops in Livonia, Taylor and Southgate. The vehicle was first created in 1936 and there are currently six in operation. Anybody out there still have a Wienermobile whistle? Maybe you’ll get one for Christmas.

 

And number three — The House has rejected the latest spending bill that would avert a government shutdown.  In a Thursday evening vote, almost 40 Republicans voted against the 116-page proposal, which was supported by President-elect Trump.  Democrats voted mostly along party lines opposing the bill that included disaster relief money and funding for farmers. The big question is where we go from here.
