Speaker Boehner: It's Time For This Republican Congress to 'Extend Highway Bill Long-Term'
June 4, 2015
"…we got highways crumbling, we need to extend the highway bill long-term." -Speaker Boehner on Fox News Radio Kilmeade and Friends [6/3/15]
Well, it's about time you noticed…
For too long, Republicans have kept our nation stuck in small, short-term patches that fail to meet the challenge of our nation's crumbling roads and bridges – even as other nations advance their infrastructure by leaps and bounds. It is long past time for a long-term reauthorization of the Highway Trust Fund that will bring our roads, rails and bridges into the 21st century.
Speaker Boehner, you hold the gavel. Bring up a long-term bill now.
