"Senate Highway Bill Faces Many Obstacles" [1]

"A six-year highway bill crafted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was in limbo Tuesday after lawmakers rejected a motion to move forward with the measure in a 41-56 vote.

Democrats voted in unison against proceeding to the 1,030-page bill, arguing they had no time to review the complicated legislation.

Eleven Republicans also voted against the motion."

Alexander Bolton reports for The Hill July 21, 2015. [2]
