Talent Tours Missouri To Promote Transportation Bond Proposal

Missouri and other states could get some federal help to fund roads, public transit, and other transportation initiatives if Congress goes along with Senator Jim Talent’s proposal to sell bonds to pay for these transportation ideas. Talent says his Build America Bonds bill would provide $50-Billion in new transportation infrastructure funding empowering Missouri and other states to complete projects across all modes of transportation, including roads, rail, and aviation. Talent is spending several days, this week, criss-crossing the state to promote the initiative.
