House Republicans are bringing the fifth spending measure to the House floor this year. Late Wednesday, the House began consideration of the $55.3 billion FY16 Transportation-HUD bill. Debate is expected to continue Thursday. Final votes for the week are expected in the afternoon. Rail safety dominated the floor debate Wednesday, as it has for the Transportation-HUD bill since the deadly derailment of an Amtrak train near Philadelphia on May 12. Amtrak accounts saw some modest boosts, though Thursday’s amendment votes will give House members a chance to cut funding for the railroad service.
