But just because something has existed does not mean it is right.

Bottom line, the Trump infrastructure plan dumps huge costs onto States and cities, sells off public assets like an auction at a county fair, and raises transportation costs for hard-working families.

We just are not a blue State, we are a blue-chip State that drives innovation and dynamism.

Why would the bill prohibit something that was already disallowed? That is simply illogical.

I have to say, I am offended--offended by that accusation.

Well, 32 States already have programs, many of which provide a full 100-percent credit for all contributions.

that makes it appear that the funding source is private, when in fact it is really coming from public dollars.

There was. And let me ask you this. Then why did section 1142 of the Trump corporate tax bill specifically prohibit the deduction of prepaid State income taxes?

It requires robust funding at a Federal level to tackle projects that are in the national interest.

It is just a question of fairness and justice.

You cannot have a big-league economy with little-league infrastructure.
