Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Stalls Again

“Senators ran into new problems Monday as they raced to seal a bipartisan infrastructure deal, with pressure mounting on all sides to show progress on President Joe Biden’s top priority,” the Associated Press reports.

“Heading into a make-or-break week, serious roadblocks remain. Disputes have surfaced over how much money should go to public transit and water projects. And other disagreements over spending and wage requirements for highways, broadband and other areas remain unresolved, as well as whether to take unspent COVID-19 relief money to help pay for the infrastructure.”

Punchbowl News: “There’s a lot of concern and not much hope in the Capitol this evening over the fate of the bipartisan infrastructure talks. Senators we spoke to are tired of waiting for a resolution, and they don’t have much hope that the group will come to an agreement.”
