From a post at your original link:
U.S. President George Bush signed a $286.4 billion six-year transportation reauthorization bill Aug. 10, 2005 that covers federal fiscal years 2004-09.
Although the details of the reauthorization package are still being reviewed, Minnesota state and local governments can expect to receive about $3.5 billion in federal transportation funding through 2009, an increase of about 46 percent (or about $1.1 billion) over the previous six-year bill.
The bill is called SAFETEA-LU, which stands for “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.”
Clinton promised this would be done in '93. Does anyone here know if he ever authorized a bill such as this? He was talking about a complete nation-wide overhaul. Did the taxpayers already pay for it? Is Missuz Clinton going to give us the same empty promises her HINO did?
