Four months after hearing Gov. Tom Corbett’s call for a transportation funding plan in his budget address to the Legislature, the Senate delivered one mightily.
By a 45-5 vote, the Senate today approved a transportation funding plan that not only raises the $1.8 billion by 2018 that Corbett wanted. It goes $700 million beyond that.
The measure now goes to the state House of Representatives for consideration. Its fate is uncertain in the House because of the cost implications on consumers.
All midstate senators voted in favor of the legislation.
