Today I introduced a resolution designating this week as National Infrastructure Week. With every day that passes, the need for Federal infrastructure investment grows more and more urgent. Our roads, our bridges, our canals, our tunnels, our drinking water, our sewage facilities--they are all suffering because the Federal Government has not invested in rebuilding America's infrastructure. Lives are on the line because our infrastructure is crumbling, and our drinking water is not safe. Our constituents are begging us to rebuild America's infrastructure. Instead of that, the President is still obsessed with building his wall. Well, Mr. Speaker, that is not going to work for the American people. Americans want water infrastructure that is not tainted with lead. They want roads that aren't full of potholes. They want bridges that aren't falling down. They want airports and schools that are safe. They deserve nothing less. Let's go to work for the American people. ____________________
