$24-Billion ‘Stimulus 2’ Floated in Senate - ENR \| McGraw-Hill Construction Publication Date: 06-AUG-08 Author: Tom Ichniowski Format: HTML

Description:
It’s little wonder Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd’s proposed new economic stimulus package got good reviews in the construction industry: More than half of the plan’s $24.1 billion in appropriations is aimed at infrastructure. and another provision would fix the projected Highway Trust Fund deficit. But the proposal faces an uphill path. Congress may have as few as three weeks to act on it before the election. Moreover, Republicans haven’t rushed to embrace Byrd’s ideas.
