Democrats will transform Biden plan into legislation
Republicans call for smaller proposal but may have little sway April 8, 2021 6:02 AM By Lillianna Byington and Kaustuv Basu
President Joe Biden proposed a $2.25 trillion infrastructure package that aims to tackle some of the major goals he campaigned on: revamping transportation, creating jobs, and fighting climate change.
âThese are investments we have to make,â Biden said in a speech debuting his plan. âWe can afford to make them â or, put another way, we canât afford not to.â
Turning the plan into law, however, is not possible without Congress â particularly a handful of lawmakers with outsize influence on the process. Democratic leaders are moving quickly to draft infrastructure proposals to match the goals the president laid out, while Republicans are attempting to make their voices heard on a bill that may not need their votes.

New Delhi: The toolkit that was tweeted and then deleted by environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 18, to garner support for the ongoing farmers’ protest was allegedly “fed to her” as part of a “larger conspiracy to create disharmony”, sources in the security establishment told ThePrint.
According to sources, Canada-based organisation Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF) played a “vital role” in “starting a global campaign”, with backing from “political leaders and activists based out of Canada”.
N.Y. Front-Line Workers to Lose Place in Line If Skip Shot Bloomberg 7/01/2021 Henry Goldman and Keshia Clukey
(Bloomberg) New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned hospitals and health-care workers on Thursday that if they don’t take Covid-19 vaccines while it’s offered exclusively to them in the early days of the state’s inoculation drive, they will lose their priority status when the vaccine rolls out to the general public.
Cuomo said that’s why he is pushing back on requests by New York City and other local officials who’ve asked the state to expand the group of people eligible for the vaccine in a bid to speed up vaccinations in the state. New York has administered only 430,000 of the 900,000 doses it has received, leaving more than half of the Covid shots unused on the day the state reported the most daily coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic.
