We must put our partisan differences aside and explore every avenue to upgrade America's infrastructure. Of course, we must be transparent and deliberate. The plan must be cost effective with tangible returns on our investment.

As the crossroads of America, the rest of the Nation can look to Indiana for guidance on how to get something done to upgrade America's crumbling infrastructure. ____________________
