Schock says he and his colleagues must agree on a plan to fill funding gaps to improve roads.

Schock says Congress hasn't passed a full highway bill since President Obama took office. They've been passing stop-gap measures instead. House Republicans want to use motor fuel tax and the sale of offshore leasing rights to enhance the highway trust fund but the Senate put a snag in that plan. Nonetheless, Schock says something must be done soon because roads and highways across the nation are in pretty bad shape.
