WASHINGTON (WHTC-AM/FM) – A hurdle has apparently been cleared in the effort to pass an infrastructure agreement in Washington.
According to Congressman Fred Upton, the Problem Solvers Caucus, of which the St. Joseph Republican is a vice-chair, on Tuesday (July 6, 2021) “embraced” the Senate package that takes nearly a trillion dollars that had divided the Biden Administration and majority Democrats from the GOP minority “off the table.”
“This is a bipartisan plan that we think we can get to the President,” Upton said on “WHTC Morning News” during his weekly interview. “A lot of work now is moving forward, and I hope we can get this thing done. As I told the President last week, ‘If we can’t do this, what is going to happen that is bipartisan?’”
