Andrea, Hoza, and Polaschik nominations by voice votes

The Senate is now considering H.R. 5021, Highway and Transportation Funding Act. The Wyden-Hatch #3582, Carper-Corker-Boxer #3583, Lee #3584, and Toomey #3585 are in order prior to a vote on passage of the bill, as amended, if amended. The amendments and passage are subject to 60-affirmative vote thresholds. There is 1 hour for debate on each amendment and 2 hours on the bill, but we hope to yield back some time and vote in the 5-5:30pm range. Another message will be sent once we have a better idea of when the votes will occur.
