WASHINGTON — The omnibus spending bill now on the congressional launch pad is a something-for-everyone grab bag that contains a surprising amount of federal money for New York priorities, including rural broadband, the fight against opioidaddiction, and highway, rail and airport improvements.

“It certainly doesn’t have everything Democrats want, and it does contain several things Democrats are not thrilled about,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor. “The same is true for our Republican friends. That is true of all good compromises.”

For his part, President Trump hailed the inclusion of $1.6 billion for his long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall — even though it fell far short of the $25 billion he initially sought.

The president also was pleased with $716 billion for the military, but lamented having to “waste money on Dem giveaways.”

The House passed the $1.3 trillion spending package Thursday on a vote of 256-167. The Senate has yet to schedule a vote. Under Senate rules, a single senator can refuse what is known as “unanimous consent,” which fast tracks a must-pass bill onto the floor.

All eyes in Washington are now on GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who refused to offer consent on a spending bill last month, effectively shutting the government down for a number of hours.

The Senate has until midnight Friday to pass the omnibus and avoid a shutdown.

But on Thursday as details emerged, lawmakers of both parties tended to accentuate the positive for their respective agendas and downplay the negative.

“Today’s bipartisan budget agreement reflects major priorities that my Democratic colleagues and I have been actively pushing for,” Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, said. “Republican leaders in Washington seem to have finally realized that their partisan crisis-driven governing does not serve the needs or best interests of the American people.”

Among the parts of the spending bill with most direct impact on upstate New York are:

  •  Clean water and drinking water. The bill includes a $600 million increase in the state revolving funds for water infrastructure. New York has a large number of water and sewer lines that are more than a century old, and pipeline bursts like the 111-year-old one in Troy that burst in 2016.
  •  Airport improvements and aid to rural airports. It includes an extra $1 billion for airport improvements and also restores the Trump budget’s 40 percent cut of the federal subsidy used to keep rural airports across the North Country in operation.
  •  Highway Trust Fund additions. This includes $1.3 million targeted at Albany and Schenectady.
  •  Rural broadband. The omnibus funds a $600 million pilot program to bring high-speed Internet to underserved rural areas upstate and elsewhere. The money represents a tenfold increase over 2017 levels.
  •  Opioid addiction and prevention. The compromise has a $3.3 billion increase from last year for all government departments and agencies to combat opioid addiction and extend services for mental illness. Opioids have plagued wide swaths of upstate New York, especially more rural areas.
  •  Railroad infrastructure and safety. Positive Train Control, a GPS-like system mandated by Congress to prevent wrecks of out-of-control trains, gets an extra $250 million to help governments pay for the share the railroads themselves aren’t shouldering. Also, $590 million goes to a grant program to improve railroad infrastructure.

The Omnibus also included a number of nonbudget items, such as Fix NICS. The bill to beef up the FBI’s firearms-purchase background-check system was about the only gun-related item that Republicans and Democrats could agree on.

If offers a carrot-and-stick approach to states and federal agencies for them to add names to the FBI database of individuals unqualified to own guns under federal law.

Federally licensed gun dealers use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to check whether prospective purchasers meet the qualifications, including no felony convictions, no involuntary commitment to mental facilities, and no permanent domestic-violence restraining orders.

In several of the recent mass shootings, information that might have disqualified shooters from purchasing firearms had not been entered into NICS.
