Senators are nearing an agreement on legislation intended to accelerate approval and construction of infrastructure projects, although the measure is not expected to receive a vote before the election, Politico reported.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said Thursday that negotiators were “over the hump on the dealbreaker issues” and in “a very good place on the substance of the bill,” according to The Hill. Roll Call described talks as going down to the wire as senators prepared to leave Washington.
Bloomberg reported that President Donald Trump was offering support for solar projects as part of a permitting deal, citing a senator. The reports indicate negotiations remained active even as the available time for congressional action narrowed.
