LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) â President Biden met with members of Congress, including some from our area, hoping to build support for his massive infrastructure plan.
The $2.3 trillion dollar package would be one of the biggest investments in public works in a generation, but some are raising questions about its cost and its definition of what counts as infrastructure.
