Tonight, I am honored to stand before you to speak on the passage of one of the most transformational pieces of legislation in a generation signed into law, the bipartisan infrastructure bill. In my State of Delaware, this bill will invest $1.2 billion for highway repair, over $200 million for bridge repair, and over $100 million to expand internet access, and $300 million to expand access to clean drinking water. But it is more than just concrete and fiber-optic cables, it is about the faces and places that will benefit from this bill. In my State, I think of the students, I think of the farmers, I think of the union workers whose lives will be improved and whose communities will forever change. It is about recovering, rebuilding, and restoring hope. Madam Speaker, we have more work to do, but make no mistake--with the bipartisan infrastructure law--we are now on the road to recovery and on the road to building back better. ____________________
