Regarding the House’s fiscal 2020 transportation spending bill:
"Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), ranking member of the full Appropriations Committee, called out provisions that would prevent DOT from rolling back fuel economy standards, preempting state meal and rest break rules, and rescinding funding from California for high-speed rail. “I hope we can work together to eliminate some of these riders,” Granger said.
Look for the battle over these riders (and others) to heat up as the appropriations process continues."
