Finally Congress got something important done

Maybe Pacifica and Moss Beach will get their Highway 1 traffic improvement monies after all.  Half Moon Bay missed the time corridor.  

Associated Press/Alan Fram, 5/29/12.  "Congress passes student loans, highway jobs bill."

Beep beep, no one can fix the fog, but
congress can fix Pacifica's 1.3 mile highway.

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Congress emphatically approved legislation Friday preserving jobs on transportation projects from coast to coast and avoiding interest rate increases on new loans to millions of college students, giving lawmakers campaign-season bragging rights on what may be their biggest economic achievement before the November elections.

The bill sent for President Barack Obama's signature enables just over $100 billion to be spent on highway, mass transit and other transportation programs over the next two years, projects that would have expired Saturday without congressional action. It also ends a bare-knuckle political battle over student loans that raged since spring, a proxy fight over which party was best helping voters muddle through the economic downturn.

Obama signed a one-week temporary measure Friday evening, permitting the highway and loan programs to continue until the full legislation reaches his desk."    Associated Press.
