Blunt on the Budget Proposal

From Roy Blunt’s office:
“I’m in discussions with my colleagues in the House and Senate to determine the best way forward to address our country’s overall infrastructure needs, as well as specific funding for a multi-year surface transportation bill, and to do so without raising gas taxes.

“Unlike the president’s proposal, my colleagues and I believe we can create a new innovative financing tool and have the resources to fund a six-year year highway bill at lower repatriation rates, which ultimately means a better deal for Americans and a better incentive to bring this money back home.”
