Womack Votes for Five-Year Highway Funding Bill

Statement

Date: Dec. 3, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure Government Budget and Spending

ongressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after the House passed the Conference Report to H.R. 22, the Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act:

"This March, Arkansas was forced to shut down 56 planned construction projects across the state because Congress had not given the long-term certainty necessary for our states to adequately plan for the needs of our nation's transportation infrastructure. That's unacceptable. While I am disappointed by some of the pay-fors found to get there, I am nevertheless encouraged that the House and Senate were able to work together to bring this five-year, fully-funded surface transportation reauthorization to fruition and put it on the President's desk."
