Rep. Mica’s office released a press release that he will address conflicting Congressional and Administration priorities for reauthorizing SAFETEA-LU (which expires Sept. 30), why he thinks there’s a need to replace what he calls “the increasingly obsolete federal gasoline tax” as the primary source of revenue for the Highway Trust Fund, and lays in the transportation project approval process.

Mica also will address what he thinks is “the failure of the stimulus to create the jobs promised by the Administration.”
