Max is absolutely livid about this. The administration screwed up royally ... The Federal Highway Administration were advisers to Max on this language and they approved it. They approved it and said the language was fine and now they are changing their tune.
Max is absolutely livid that these companies have not followed through with their promises. We have been assured by the host committee that folks are going to get paid.
Max worked way too hard to secure these dollars to let a bunch of bureaucrats get in the way.
Getting the 60 signatures is ongoing. Max and (Sen. Arlen) Specter (R-Pa.) are continuing to push it. It's still very much on Max's radar.
That's why Max is committed to staying vigilant and working together to kill this bad idea.
These are folks who fought for our country, and Max doesn't think that they should have to fight Congress every year for the health care and benefits they need and deserve.
