Round 2 of the budget negotiations
House adopts pretty much the same budget they had before; Senate drops http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2378-2004Mar17.html its transportation plan.
It seems like the Senate is making all the concessions. See previous post and article today.
The Senate cut $1.6 billion from its plan and the gas tax that went with it. If the House will add as much to its budget, we should have a deal. Here’s betting we won’t.
