I had never heard of that before, now I have to go see what the difference is between omnibus and minibus! Another reason to not like the guy, geeze, make me do homework at this hour!
Wikipedia says:
Omnibus bill
An omnibus bill is a proposed law that covers a number of diverse or unrelated topics. Omnibus is derived from Latin and means "to, for, by, with or from everything".

What is a minibus in government?
Packaging all or a number of appropriation bills together creates what are called omnibus or minibus measures. These bills appropriate money to operate the federal government and make national policy in scores of areas.

Okay, they're the same thing, never heard it called minibus before. Weird.
