"proposal to replenish the fund – which pays for improvements to the state’s roads and bridges – runs out of money by June 30." ...

yeah let those railroads fend for themselves ... who rides trains these days anyway ... freight is down to just a skeleton service ... 99.99999999999% of consumer goods and manufacturing ladings get transported by trucks ...
