House Republicans are reworking Speaker John Boehner’s signature energy-infrastructure package to lower the price tag, shorten the duration and eliminate a controversial provision on transit funding.
Late Wednesday Speaker Boehner announced the U.S. House of Representatives would not complete the consideration of H.R. 7, the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act of 2012, until after Congress returns from the President’s Day district work period.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) offered a bipartisan amendment designed to restore transit funding to the House’s Surface Transportation Bill.
