Dear Mr. Granado:
Thank you for contacting me about the Highway Trust Fund.
On July 31, I voted in favor of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act, which
ensures funding for the Highway Trust Fund through May 2015. On August 8 the bill was
signed into law.
Investing in infrastructure keeps our highways and bridges safer, creates jobs, and
facilitates interstate commerce.
Please know that I will continue to work with my colleagues toward a long-term,
sustainable solution for a well maintained transportation system.
I appreciate that you took the time to express your thoughts on this issue. Please do not
hesitate to contact me in the future.
Sincerely,
/4k6t000w
