New Federal Transport Bill Unlikely

"The Bush administration has proposed $190 billion to be spent through 2009, but transportation industry groups have been calling for at least $375 billion. ...Reid said, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has indicated he wants to link transportation funding to the elimination of clean air and endangered species laws."
