Nutter, Rendell Attend Obama’s Meeting On Transportation Funding
WASHINGTON (CBS) – President Obama today lobbied for Republican support for spending on transportation projects, calling the proposal a jobs creator for the middle class and an overdue investment in the country’s foundation
Standing in the White House rose garden, Obama is proposing a $50-billion plan as an initial step toward a six-year program, which calls for building, fixing, and maintaining thousands of roads, rail lines, and airport runways:
“There’s no reason why the world’s best infrastructure should lie beyond our borders. This is America. We’ve always had the best infrastructure. All we need is the political will.”
The plan was unveiled on Labor Day, but the president today rehashed the plan and met privately with governors, mayors, transportation officials, and cabinet secretaries.
