Houses Passes Highway Bill, Hanna Votes Yes

Congressman Richard Hanna voted in favor of a six-year highway bill passed today by the House of Representatives.

The vote followed three days of debate, during which more than 100 amendments were considered.

Hanna says the bill gives states and local municipalities the ability to make important repairs and upgrades to roads, bridges and highways.  Hanna said. “If we’re not planning for the future then we have no future. I was pleased to support this bill and include four amendments. I look forward to seeing this bill signed into law.”

It's the first long-term highway bill passed in nearly a decade.

The Surface Transportation Reauthorization Reform Act of 2015 passed by a vote of 363 to 64.
