I want to make a bipartisan criticism of the Congressional leaderships going back as far as I can remember.
Michael Capuano
The Public Record
Mike Capuano is a former U.S. Representative from Massachusetts, serving from 1999 to 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he represented Massachusetts's 8th congressional district. During his tenure, Capuano was known for his advocacy on issues such as healthcare, education, and civil rights. He served on several committees, including the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, where he focused on infrastructure development and public transportation improvements in his district.
Our current Governor, Rick Scott, was able to come up with one of the biggest acts of stupidity--returning $2.4 billion in awarded funds.
Our country is building huge infrastructure projects in Iraq, giving tax credits to the company, taking jobs overseas.
Let me say that again: $350 billion. They see the importance of moving people, goods, and services.
Anybody who wants to give the money back to you, we will take it in Massachusetts.
It is worth noting that--talking about mistakes--that the government later reapplied for a portion of the funds he rejected.
It is going to take continued partnership with the Federal Government, and more planning.
