A newly proposed $1.1 trillion spending bill is designed to keep the federal government running, but it could mean more money for the Mobile area, specifically Austal. Speaker of the House John Boehner is expected to bring the measure to a vote on the House floor Thursday with the Senate expected to vote on it sometime next week. According to Congressman Bradley Byrne's staff, the spending bill includes significant funding to build three more littoral combat ships at Austal USA. The shipbuilding company is the largest manufacturing employer in the area with 4,000 employees.
