CONGRESS DEBATES TRANSPORTATION BILL
Republicans complain about bike paths in any transportation bill during House hearing. W. Post:
“Reining in rural state lawmakers who want every penny of gas-tax revenue spent on roads and bridges will fall to Bill Shuster (R.-Pa.), [House transportation] chairman … [Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx] cited demographic shifts that have more people moving to urban hubs, many of them to downtown core areas that were abandoned by their parents a generation ago.”

House Dems tries to throw cold water on funding highway bill via repatriation. The Hill:
“‘We’re not going to see repatriation out of this Congress,’ said Rep. Peter DeFazio (Ore.), the top ranking Democrat on the panel. ‘The Republicans don’t support it.’ Foxx sounded more optimistic. ‘I’m hearing differently about the possibility of business tax reform,’ he said.”
