We're about to receive the largest infrastructure investment in US history and it's a good thing

The infrastructure we build impacts our health and the environment for decades into the future.

We should not dismiss what the bipartisan infrastructure bill represents – a compromise that brings elected officials from both sides of the aisle together for the greater good. 

Outside of the halls of Congress, most folks don’t spend too much time thinking about infrastructure -- until it fails us, as it did for too many Texans this past February. Texas’ infrastructure was woefully unprepared during Winter Storm Uri, where millions lost electricity and water for days. With the American Society of Civil Engineers rating Texas’ infrastructure as "mediocre," it’s clear we need a major investment in the fundamental systems that support a modern society.
