Senator Max Baucus has announced that he will block the Senate consideration of President Bush’s nomination of Richard Capka, to head the Federal Highway Administration. Earlier this month John Kerry announced that he was blocking Capka’s nomination over his involvement with Boston’s $14.6 billion Big Dig project. Kerry said, “I’m afraid Richard Capka could be the Brownie of highways.”

Baucus says “he is frustrated with the agency’s refusal to fund a $50 million transportation project for Montana.”

The money was designated in last year’s transportation bill for Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun road, which is badly in need of repair.
