Oberstar set to lay out vision for transportation (http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/congress/48298232.html?page=1&c=yvvvvvvvvvvvvv - broken link)

Quote:
WASHINGTON - Nearly two years after the fall of the Interstate 35W bridge called attention to the condition of America's infrastructure, Congress hasn't settled on how it will pay to bring the nation's aging transportation network into the 21st century.

Minnesota Democrat Jim Oberstar, the powerful chairman of the House Transportation Committee, is crafting a plan to reinvent federal transportation policy in sweeping legislation that would integrate the nation's highways, bridges and transit systems.

The cost is about $450 billion over six years, nearly a doubling of the nation's current investment in infrastructure. But Oberstar's blueprint, still under construction, is silent on the key question of where the money will come from.
