In an interview with KGW-TV’s Tracy Barry (who also scored an interview with President Obama), Transportation secretary Ray LaHood today praised the Columbia River Crossing and stated that “the Northwest could count on big federal support for a new I-5 bridge across the Columbia River if President Barack Obama’s American Jobs Act is passed by Congress.”
LaHood didn’t endorse any particular design or proposal for the project; merely noting that it is considered a priority by the Obama Administration.

Can always count on the bubble head Lahood to say whatever it is you want him to say, no matter what local area he may be travelling to.
He’s kinda an Obama cheerleader.
Congress won’t pass it, so this doesn’t matter.
I want to -1 this about 1,000,000 times.

if the dems can grab the reins , look for B.O. to

Speaker Pelosi will pass the CRC , hopefully
