Amendment to Eliminate Funds for the Gateway Rail Project

Sep. 6, 2017 | H.Amdt. 286 to H.R. 3354
This amendment by Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 3354) would have eliminated a $900 million allocation for the Gateway Rail Project. The project will provide critical improvements to aging and damaged Amtrak rail infrastructure, increase capacity and improve service reliability throughout the Northeast corridor. The amendment failed.

This is Bad for working people.
