Still fueled by Sen. Scott Brown’s stunning victory in Massachusetts, Republicans became boisterous on Capitol Hill when it came to talking about a new six-year highway bill.
During a House Appropriations Committee hearing, Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) challenged Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to redirect the White House’s feeling on the measure.
According to Streetsblog Capitol Hill, LaTourette said, “ . . . kicking this can down the road to March 2011 is irresponsible. It’s time for leadership on this issue.”
