Larson on Passage of Short-Term Highway Funding Bill

Statement

Congressman John B. Larson released the following statement today on the passage of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act (H.R. 5021) in the U.S. House of Representatives:

"Today, the House passed short-term transportation infrastructure funding. Now the real work begins. Speaker Boehner should cancel the August recess and allow Members to stay in session until we complete a long-term transportation bill. We owe our workers, trades, businesses and the American people the certainty of a long-term solution and I am prepared to join my colleagues through August until we get the job done."
