U.S. Rep. John L. Mica (R-Fla.), the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committeeās Republican leader, has slammed the report by the U.S. Treasury Department and the White House on the Obama Administrationās $50 billion infrastructure spending plan.
On Oct. 11, Mica released the following statement:
āUnfortunately, this last-minute report is a pitiful and tardy political excuse for the Administration having killed last year any chance for a long-term transportation measure.
āEven more astounding is their regurgitation and attempted justification of a $50 billion spending proposal while more than 60 percent of the stimulus infrastructure dollars remain unspent.
āOnce again, as the Republican leader of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I remain committed and ready to talk, work and take action with these folks when they return to planet Earth with both feet on the ground.ā
