Friends,
This week, the U.S. Senate passed the historic bipartisan infrastructure package. I believe that one of the few core responsibilities of the government is to provide safe and efficient infrastructure throughout North Carolina and across the country. Over the past several months I have been working with my Senate colleagues to develop a bipartisan framework to modernize America’s infrastructure in a smart and responsible way, without raising taxes.
While the bipartisan infrastructure legislation is not perfect, I supported it because it’s good for North Carolina. Below is a summary of what is in the bill and where the funding goes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, the infrastructure legislation is $1 trillion:
The Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan Tuesday, a huge step for Democrats as they try to push President Joe Biden’s sweeping economic agenda through Congress.
The legislation, which includes $550 billion in new funding for transportation, broadband and utilities, got through in a 69-30 vote, as 19 Republicans joined all 50 Democrats.
Pay special attention to the top right portion that explains how this is paid for. Thom Tillis thinks we are fools as he sells out our future and our children’s freedom for his 30 pieces of silver.

This is money they use to build underground prisons “bases” for THEIR safety and “infrastructure “..not for US!
I truly pray nobody pays taxes this year…why support these tyrants
How can you have anything to do with this RINO? I can’t believe you’re giving him a platform.
Know your enemy. You must not have read the post if you think I am giving him a platform.
I didn’t take that as a “Yay for NC” post. Was not the point.
From what I’ve read, somewhere between 20% and 30% is for infrastructure. The rest is Demonrat pork.
And yes, it was “bipartisan”.
