White House: Congress has more work to do on spending bill

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Friday welcomed the latest plan from congressional Republicans to fund the federal government past Sept. 30 but said it was still disappointed in parts of the proposal, such as a lack of funding for the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, among other issues. White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters in a daily briefing that it "is not at all clear to me" that President Barack Obama is prepared to fund the spending bill "because he believes that Congress has got more work to."
