Usually,renewingthistransportationbillisano-brainer. Infact,Congresshasreneweditseventimesoverthelasttwoyears. ButthankstopoliticalposturinginWashington,theyhaven’tbeenabletoextenditthistime–andtheclockisrunningout.
Allowingthisbilltoexpirewouldbeadisasterforourinfrastructureandoureconomy. Rightaway,over4,000workerswouldbefurloughedwithoutpay. Ifit’sdelayedforjust10days,wewilllosenearly$1billioninhighwayfundingthatwecannevergetback. Andifwewaitevenlonger,almost1millionworkerscouldbeindangeroflosingtheirjobsoverthenextyear.
Thoseareseriousconsequences,andthepainwillbefeltallacrossthecountry. InVirginia,19,000jobsareatrisk. InMinnesota,morethan12,000. AndinFlorida,over35,000peoplecouldbeoutofworkifCongressdoesn’tact.
