A brief diary here: Harry Reid has publicly stated that the Senate will vote to continue the CARS program before they recess. This is confirmed by Mitch McConnell, as repubs appear to be smart enough not to try to block this popular program.
Here is the article. One thing that is of some concern is this sentence at the very end:
But their agreement depended on whether Reid would allow them to make changes to a House-passed bill to infuse the program with $2 billion.
Wouldn't any change to the House-passed bill require a revote by the House, which has already recessed?
