Trust-fund integrity at stake

Article Abstract:

Representative Bud Shuster, chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, has introduced the Truth in Budgeting Act to transform federal management of the nation's public work infrastructure. This bill, if implemented, will ensure that user fees for Highway, Airport and Airway, Inland Waterway and Harbor Maintenance trust funds are used for their specified purposes and not for deficit reduction.
