Washington The passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending package is setting off a mad dash from states and counties seeking federal funds to repair and replace the nation's crumbling bridges, roads and ports.
The legislation will deliver $550 billion of new federal investments to projects over the next five years. Many infrastructure plans have been shelved indefinitely as local officials struggled to find the funding, leaving the nation's infrastructure system in desperate need of repair. It earned a C- score from the American Society of Civil Engineers earlier this year.The federal money will be allocated through a variety of programs, mostly run by the US Department of Transportation.
I say give the money to the blue states first because they are the ones that got us there. But democrats are human and we sent the money to who needs it most first and we don't use the money for financial gain.
I see my state making a mad dash for more speed bumps and roundabouts
Hopefully Florida and Texas refuse to take the funding.....
