Hi Guy's,
This is my first POST at steemit. I am very bad in writing and english is not my mother tongue, so bear with me while you are reading this post.
Roads, bridges, airports and other infrastructure need more funding. The White House proposed a $1.5 trillion infrastructure package, but members of Congress have their sights focused on the midterm elections.
“This was supposed to be a hot topic in November 2016,” says James Roberts, president and CEO of Granite Construction Inc., headquartered in Watsonville, California, a member of multiple AGC chapters, and active at the national level. “It was a somewhat bipartisan opportunity to get real value for the country. It is mesmerizing that we are sitting here in mid-2018, and we have little-to-no progress on a national infrastructure bill.”
Brian Deery, senior director, Highway & Transportation Division, Government Relations at AGC of America, explains “there’s not a lot of time left between now and the election to get a lot done on the Trump infrastructure proposal. We are pushing for it to happen, but in the meantime, there are infrastructure-related bills moving along.”
