US EditionGOP Bill Aims to Kill Bailey Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project
- House Republicans plan a vote soon on a bill combining Trump's tax cuts with rescinding over $100 million in Buffalo's Bailey Avenue transit funding.

- The bill faces internal GOP divisions and Senate resistance, making its passage and the project's fate uncertain amid ongoing negotiations and expected amendments.
