On 7/15/2014 Congresswoman Johnson spoke on the floor in support of H.R. 5021, Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. This will provide funding to continue projects for public transit and surface transportation—allowing many Texans to keep their jobs! This is only a temporary fix, and the Congresswoman asked for her fellow members to stop kicking the can down the road for someone else to solve the problem. 8% of Texas roads are in poor condition, the passage of this bill could potentially solve this problem and many others, but not for long.
