PenceBlog: Robert Novak: "Pence says the conservatives have compromised enough." - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

As Congress prepares to resume next week, syndicated columnist Robert Novak's latest column discusses budget reform, arguably the House's most pressing current debate.

Here are two excerpts from Novak's column:

"On April 6, before the House recessed, a budget containing spending reforms was agreed to by the new majority leader, John Boehner, and Rep. Mike Pence, head of the conservative Republican Study Committee.
"What's more, Rep. Mike Castle, leader of the House moderates, was on board."

"In keeping with normal congressional practice, the leadership's next step would be to seek compromises with Lewis that dilute the reforms.
"But maybe not this time. Pence says the conservatives have compromised enough.
"Boehner is determined to rid Congress of its earmark addiction. They will be supported in the administration by Portman. The test comes next week."
