GOP tries to strip $175M in transportation projects from Democrats' coronavirus bill
Fox News
Senate Republicans are working to strip $175 million worth of transportation projects tucked inside President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, funding the GOP alleges is further proof Democrats have turned the pandemic bill into a bloated liberal wish list.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., will offer an amendment on the Senate floor as early as Friday to remove the five projects from the legislation. "Democrats have loaded this ‘COVID-19 relief package’ with millions of dollars for unrelated, boondoggle, mainly blue state infrastructure projects," Daines said in a statement to Fox News. "These projects have nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with Pelosi and Schumer helping their friends in blue states."More Related News
