The Daily Quote

“…a week and a half later the [highway] bill is undergoing a wholesale rewrite that has put one of Boehner’s top 2012 priorities on hold…. LaTourette publicly denounced the bill..he raised concerns about several provisions and predicted that not a single Democrat would vote for the bill on the House floor. ‘I’ve never seen a highway bill like that,’ LaTourette said…. With Democrats opposed to the bill for a range of reasons, he said, ‘I couldn’t figure out how it was going to get 218 votes.’ Republican leaders were already likely to lose votes from conservatives who have opposed most spending bills in the 112th Congress and who complained that the price tag of $260 billion over five years was too high.”
