"…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.
