Political Quotes

“As I rise today to begin discussing infrastructure, I cannot let go the remarks from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, their being completely appalled by the Speaker not bringing over one resolution in what they believe to be a timely manner, but expressing no concern for the fact that the Senate has not taken up 400 bills that have been passed by this House, 275 that were bipartisan, from their own side. But they have no concern for that. They do have concern for one bill. That is inappropriate, and I am very sad about my colleagues for this. Democrats have been working hard to fulfill a promise to the Nation. Americans in the Virgin Islands and in Puerto Rico are feeling the brunt of aging and weakening infrastructure-- demonstrated by a series of recent major disasters--which the Democrats are working hard to support. We must remain committed to rebuilding disaster-stricken communities, replacing crumbling infrastructure, and developing and deploying the infrastructure needed to connect us like never before, including through 5G. We cannot allow the Senate and this administration to impede our efforts to make American infrastructure better, safer, and more resilient. ____________________”
