GOP opposes 6-month extension of transportation bill
Republican opposition to a six-month extension of the current transportation bill has killed the plan in the Senate. Instead, lawmakers will vote on a stopgap spending measure for the highway authorization bill by the end of the week. The current bill expires Saturday, and the stopgap measure would extend funding through Dec. 18.
