Both nominations had been held up by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other New York and New Jersey Senators since early August 2017 as leverage in talks with the White House over the proper federal share of funding for the $30+ billion Gateway Program of rail projects in those states.

FY19 Budget Request: The Big Picture

February 14, 2018/

Appropriations, Environment, Federal Budget, Federal Funding

By Jeff Davis

But the budget was already outdated on the day it was released – while the FY 2019 budget was at the printers, Congress passed and the President signed a law allowing an extra $295 billion in appropriations over the 2018-2019 biennium. So the real deficit is expected to be around $1.2 trillion under the President’s plan.
