Tuesday the Senate approved the omnibus Bill that will provide funding for DOT, FAA and a few other federal departments and agencies. The bill provides the funding through fiscal year 2009.
The highly controversial measure, which includes a total of $3.515 billion in AIP funding and addresses other airport priorities , contains some 9,000+ earmarks, which President Obama said would not be there.
