Walberg Votes for Bipartisan Transportation Bill
May 19, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement after voting for the Highway and Transportation Funding Act, which extends the expenditure authority of the Highway Trust Fund through July 31, 2015.
"It's no secret many of Michigan's roads and bridges are in need of significant repairs, and the federal government must do its part to ensure States can continue these important projects. Today's short-term extension was not my preferred option, but it is does allow room for Congress to negotiate a bipartisan, long-term solution that we desperately need," said Walberg.
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
