Repeal of Obama MPO rule reported to the House; Must sign by 4/28

An Friday April 6th, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure reported to the full House its findings to repeal the Obama rule that greatly expands the powers of the Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

As I've covered before, this rule is so reviled that its rejection passed through committee unanimously, after bi-partisan sponsorship from Rep. Jason Lewis and Dan Lipinksi. 

While this is great progress, we need to keep in mind that,  per this report from Reuters, all rules that are rejected under the CRA must be signed by April 28th. That means we need quick action from the full House and then the Senate so that President Trump can permanently toss this rule in the dustbin.
