Donovan votes against THUD bill
Package contains cuts to Amtrak, lawmaker says
The House passed a $55 billion transportation and housing bill, but the legislation passed without the support of the Republican member of the New York City delegation.
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan said the Transportation Housing Urban Development (THUD) bill contained a $251 million cut to Amtrak.
The bill passed by a close vote of 216-210 on June 9.
