Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he will advance the next piece of President Barack Obama’s rejected $447 billion jobs proposal, this time a $60 billion measure funding roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
Reid said he will seek a vote on the package, which would be financed by a 0.7 percent surtax on millionaires, during the week of Oct. 31. Yesterday, Democrats failed in their first attempt to salvage parts of the overall jobs proposal.
