The bureaucrats in Washington will decide how the money is spent, not even the folks back in the States. The Senate fails to streamline the project delivery process which we do.

The Senate bill discourages private sector investment, and it increases the regulation. Like I said, this bill is a good bill, it's a solid bill, it's one that the people out there want to see, a 5-year bill, not a 17- or 16-month extension. {time} 1520 Announcement By the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. All Members are advised to refrain from referring to one another in the second person.
