“That’s it?”
I just saw that the Washington Post (18 May) reported that the Budget request will be $2.5, rather than $2.2 billion (20 more urban miles, or 30 rural miles). https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-republican-war-breaks-out-over-immigration-taking-down-the-farm-bill-in-the-process/2018/05/18/fb06bf84-5ac5-11e8-858f-12becb4d6067_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3aba5dff70e1
I guess we won’t know till the budget gets past, but it seems that the Trump Administration is trying several approaches to getting more funding (see post 6). This formal budget request is the surest way to get funding, but it requires reams of documentation and verifications. Clearly, they have done a lot of homework to prepare it.
