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.
