This has been misnamed as a transparency bill. It is not a transparency bill. This cost benefit bill literally is a race-to-the-courthouse bill, and we would just be in an endless litigious position. We are already late with the transportation bill. We have already created great uncertainty for all of our cities, counties, and towns in America. Why would we now want to subject our broken bridges and our broken transportation system to yet another dilatory tactic that sort of slows down our ability to create good jobs and to fix our infrastructure? Madam Chair, I would urge all Members to vote against this initiative because it is wrong-headed at a time when we really need to get our transportation infrastructure improvements back on track. I yield back the balance of my time.
