ADMINISTRATION SAYS HIGHWAY FUND OUT OF CASH IN AUGUST
The Obama Administration is warning Congress that the Federal Highway Trust Fund will run out of funds in August unless it receives a significant infusion of cash. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said that the fund needs $5 billion to $7 billion this year to keep current construction projects going amid declining fuel tax revenue. Another $8 billion to $10 billion will be needed for FY2010.
The Department of Transportation says the Administration is working closely with Congress to resolve the issue. Legislators have proposed several solutions, including increasing federal spending and raising fuel taxes, a move the Administration opposes.

OSHA Reform |
|
|
|
As expected, House Democrats introduced the "Protecting America's Workers Act" (OSHA Reform) April 23 as amendments to the 1970 OSH Act. The current version of the PAW act is slightly modified from last year's bill but its provisions are nonetheless controversial to the industry. Additionally, the House Education and Labor Committee will hold two hearings next week: the first focusing on the efficacy of OSHA's penalties structure and the second on improving OSHA's Enhanced Enforcement Program (EEP). Stay tuned for more information relative to the outcomes of these two hearings. |
