The U.S. House Problem Solvers Caucus has announced its support for a $973 billion infrastructure package proposed in the Senate. Congressman Fred Upton tells WSJM News the 50-plus member caucus decided to back the proposal, which is scaled back by about $1.5 trillion from President Biden’s initial proposal. Upton says this one is similar to the Problem Solvers Building Bridges proposal.
“It’s really focusing on traditional infrastructure needs like roads and bridges, and making sure that our energy grid is resilient against weather as well as cyber attacks,” Upton said.
Upton says official Problem Solvers support gives the Senate plan a boost.
