Tammy Baldwin: “It is not the job of politicians to play doctor and to dictate how professionals practice medicine.”

The Appleton International Airport plays a critical role for the Fox Valley economy – bringing visitors and tourism dollars into our communities, connecting local businesses to customers and markets, and supporting good-paying jobs.

That's why I am proud to bring home this investment that will give truck drivers more safe places to rest, help prevent accidents that clog up our highways and put folks in harm’s way, and make our roads safer for everyone who uses them.

Now, President Trump is playing politics and shutting down a commonsense project that would modernize the airport and lower energy costs for years to come. This is flat out wrong, and the administration should reverse this decision…

But when truck drivers can't find a safe place to pull over and rest, it puts them and everyone else on the road at risk.
