Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell forced his hand into Congress’ idea box this week when he suggested a $150 billion front-loaded transportation stimulus bill for 2010.
Rendell made his comments in front of Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, and others at the Capitol.
Rendell was speaking before Congress on behalf of the infrastructure advocacy group Building America’s Future, which he co-chairs. Rendell thought the front-loaded concept was one that was workable and worth considering.
