Senate Passes FAA Bill

Senate Passes FAA Bill

Today the Senate passed the FAA bill as announced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) yesterday.

The bill extends FAA funding only through September 16, so it is only a temporary respite. The House and Senate still must resolve their underlying disagreements, which center on subsidies to small airports and union rights. For now, at least, the 4,000 government workers and 70,000 construction workers can resume their jobs and get their paychecks.
