Braley Statement on Stalled Transportation Bill

By Jeff Giertz

Political gridlock to blame

 

Washington, DC - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) released the following statement today regarding delays in passing a transportation bill out of Congress:

 

"Ridiculous partisan gridlock in Washington continues to delay funding to fix Iowa's dilapidated and dangerous roads and bridges. This must stop and the solution is simple.

 

"The House should join Senators Grassley and Harkin and pass the bipartisan transportation bill to fix our roads and bridges and create hundreds of jobs in Iowa. Washington should stop kicking the can down our deteriorating roads, which are putting drivers and passengers at risk."
