THE U.S. HOUSE Ways and Means Committee has proposed a $10.5 billion highway bill that would act as a infusion to maintain the U.S. Highway Trust Fund through 2015. The bill has the support of House Republicans but is being challenged by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-CA.) and Tom Carper (D-DE), The Hill reported. The plan, by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI), would offset its costs by letting employers delay contributions to their employee pension plans, which raises corporate taxable income in a boon for the U.S. Treasury. It also would boost customs user fees and transfer $1 billion from a federal leaking-underground-storage trust fund.
