States thaw highway funds with December release
Washington and Minnesota highway departments can begin obligating federal highway money on a month by month basis starting December 1 after a three month freeze. The plan allocates 100 million for December and 600 million monthly January through June, not affecting the 4.7 billion yearly obligation total. The freeze reduced spending by 200 million to meet a congressional cut of six billion, with funds deferred beyond July 1.
