On the recordMarch 29, 2012
Our 5-year bill has significant reforms in it that will shorten the timeframe to build a highway. We all sit around here and we talk about streamlining government. That's what this bill does. It eliminates departments and consolidates departments in transportation, and it shortens the timeline of 14 to 15 years down to 7 to 8 years. Now, it's tough to quantify the savings, but we all know that time is money. All of us have seen these projects that go on year, after year, after year. They balloon and they have cost overruns. This bill is going to solve a lot of those problems, so we need to pass this 90-day extension in order to be able to continue to work on a real solution to our infrastructure.
