"The House and Senate have offered their plans and the President has delivered his State of the Union address. Now it’s time for both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue to get to work to fix America’s infrastructure.
Our elected leaders have the opportunity to grasp the moment and work together to design a bill that not only addresses our backlog of existing projects but points us to the future.
