After a late-night voting session on Wednesday, Sept. 7, both toll amendments to the appropriations bill, HR3354 or the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, were approved. The amendments prohibit funding for establishing and collecting tolls in Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.
After a 5-minute debate on the floor, Amendment No. 49 offered by Reps. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., and Mike Kelly, R-Pa., was agreed to by voice vote at 9:09 p.m. on Wednesday.
