On the recordMay 17, 2017
Today I urge President Trump again to make good on his promise of partnering with Congress to invest $1 trillion in America's infrastructure. This week marks National Infrastructure Week; and yet, disappointingly, little action has been taken by this President and the majority in Congress to provide substantive funds for our Nation's crumbling infrastructure. Easing congestion on our highways is just one investment that will have a significant return, getting central coast residents to their jobs and back home to their families faster. This is also an issue of safety for our constituents. California currently has over 1,300 structurally deficient bridges, 678 high- hazard dams, and 50 percent of its nearly 200,000 miles of public roads are in poor condition. I urge my colleagues to work together in a bipartisan way to address the infrastructure crisis in our country. ____________________
