Congress sent President Barack Obama a three-month bill to keep highway and transit money flowing to states on July 30th, one day before the deadline for a cutoff of funds. The Senate approved the short-term bill by vote of 91 to 4. Lawmakers said they hope the 3-month patch which is the 34th short-term transportation extension since 2009, will be Congress' last. It also extends the government's authority to process aid payments to states through October 29th. |
