Bipartisan U.S. Senate group backs infrastructure framework

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of 20 U.S. senators - 10 from each caucus - said on Wednesday it supported a framework for infrastructure investment.

"We look forward to working with our Republican and Democratic colleagues to develop legislation based on this framework to address America's critical infrastructure challenges," the group said in a statement.

The statement followed an announcement last week that a smaller bipartisan group of senators had reached an agreement on an infrastructure framework, which a source said would cost $974 billion over five years and $1.2 trillion over eight years, and includes $579 billion in new spending.   read more

That proposal falls short of President Joe Biden's current $1.7 trillion offer. Infrastructure investment is one of the Democratic president's top legislative priorities.




The White House told lawmakers this week it would take stock of where things stand by the end of next week, said spokesman Andrew Bates.

One truckload of cash at a time and the middle dumping ground will be found.

IMO, broadband is part of our infrastructure and hopefully, the final plan will include that in it.

Can't put goods on the highways, skyways and waterways without it.
