On July 23rd, the House of Representatives voted on the 2010 appropriations
bill that would distribute $4 billion to high-speed rail.
An amendment to cut this down to $1 billion, introduced by Tom Latham (R-IA),
failed. Click here to see how your Representative voted.
Unfortunately, the Senate Appropriations Committee did not meet the House of
Representative's number. On July 30th, the committee chose to only appropriate
$1.2 billion for high-speed rail. The full Senate is expected to take up the
issue in the coming weeks.
