(Worthy News) – The House on Thursday passed a $715 billion infrastructure measure to extend funding for water and transportation projects –as Congress works on two separate, trillion-dollar infrastructure packages.
The measure would reauthorize funding for so-called surface transportation programs such as roads and bridges that is set to expire Sept. 30. It also promotes the use of electric vehicles and addresses the issue of climate change.
The bill in the Democrat-controlled chamber passed 221-201, mostly along party lines, with just two Republicans voting with Democrats, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Chris Smith of New Jersey. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
