Senate names conferees for highway bill
The House is expected to appoint conferees sometime later in the week.
{mosads}A day earlier, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) issued strong criticism aimed at House Republicans for failing to pass a long-term federal highway program funding bill.
A week earlier the House passed a short-term extension that goes through the end of the year. Whitehouse called the short-term extension “job-killers” and said that the House should have been able to pass a longer-term extension.
