February 4: Senate Dems to Call Up Jobs Bill Monday ... With Transport Details TBA from Streetsblog Capitol Hill
- Senate Democratic leaders appeared this morning to tout their commitment to passing a job-creation bill by the end of next week -- but the substance of their jobs measure, including the fate of pivotal transportation provisions, remains up in the air. Harry Reid (D-NV), the upper chamber's majority leader, told reporters that he was "hopeful" a bipartisan jobs bill could be ready for public view within the next day or two, followed by a first vote on Monday. "If not," he added, "[Democrats] will lay one down ourselves."
