Congresswoman Johnson Advocates For The Passage Of A Job Creating Transportation Bill
Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson Eddie Bernice Johnson recently spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to urge for the passage of the transportation bill. The current "Extension" of the transportation bill expires at the end of the month. There are millions of jobs and industries across the country that depend on a strong vision and the financial certainty that a long term transportation bill would offer.
Historically, this has ALWAYS been a bipartisan bill, because e both parties recognize the importance of infrastructure jobs, repair, maintenance, and investment. This year Republicans have been playing political games and have blocked the progress of a responsible long term transportation & highway bill.
