3 Percent Repeal Bills Continue to Attract House and Senate Cosponsors

The House cosponsor number has grown from 36 during the week of the AGC convention to 128 this week.  This week’s effort was aided by visits during the Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-in where AGC members met with members of Congress on funding for transportation investment, water infrastructure investment and the repeal of the 3 percent withholding law. The most recent additions to the House cosponsor list are: Rep Jordan, Jim [OH-4] - 5/24/2011 Rep Palazzo, Steven M. [MS-4] - 5/24/2011 Rep Boustany, Charles W., Jr. [LA-7] - 5/24/2011 Rep Smith, Adam [WA-9] - 5/24/2011 Rep Ribble, Reid J.
