Shuster Rolls Out Draft Infrastructure Proposal

摘要

House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster has unveiled a sweeping infrastructure funding proposal covering surface transportation and other categories. A key provision is a hefty boost in federal fuels taxes to shore up the long-struggling Highway Trust Fund.The Pennsylvania Republican terms the detailed proposal, released July 23, a "discussion draft" and not "a complete and final infrastructure bill." Instead, he said it "is meant to reignite discussions" in Congress about infrastructure.
