Obama urges Congress to send him transportation bill

Congress has one week to act before funding for transportation projects throughout the country run dry and construction sites are forced to close. The Senate has passed a bipartisan, two-year $109 billion bill but the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has said they would not vote on that piece of legislation but instead would vote on a short-term funding bill. During his weekly radio address, President Barack Obama urged the House to pass the Senate version so construction projects would not have to stop.
