Democratic governors hailed passage of a bipartisan infrastructure package that will send billions of dollars to state coffers to launch new projects and rebuild crumbling roads and bridges.
But only a handful of their Republican colleagues heralded the bill, which won votes from 19 Republican senators and 13 Republicans in the House.
“This bipartisan bill will put America’s infrastructure on the right track to grow jobs and make our economy competitive for the twenty-first century without raising taxes or adding to the debt,” Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said in a statement. “After decades of gridlock, I’m proud to have helped push the federal government to finally act.”

They’re Deep State.
Most of them want this. Politicians from both sides love spending tax dollars.
You think they are spending “tax dollars”? Have I got news for you. There is no way in hell taxes will cover this spending. This cements deficit spending from here to Kingdom Come and guarantees high inflation.
It cannot be stressed enough that the Republican Party just absolutely torpedoed any chances of retaking Congress and getting a majority in the Senate over this breathtakingly bone-headed vote.
It’s mostly pork. It could be worse. But we’ll live. We’ll have to watch out for “build back better” bill. Hope Manchin and Sinema remains solid.
Furthermore, and more importantly, this bill simply greased the skids for the kill-shot BBB bill. Even Democrats and their media minions have said this and Republicans still voted for the infrastructure bill.
Shovel ready Sheite!
They’re the walruses eating the clams while crying in Alice in Wonderland.
Hogan is so full of bull excrement. I can’t stand that guy...wish he’d just put a “D” behind his name.
What does Youngkin have to say?
“This bipartisan bill will put America’s infrastructure on the right track to grow jobs and make our economy competitive for the twenty-first century without raising taxes or adding to the debt…”
Pure, unadulterated BS.
No, you obviously don't understand the gravity of 31 Republicans (18 in the Senate & 13 in the House) voting for the fake infrastructure bill.
Machin has already said he'll vote for BBB when it's in the $1.75-$2T range. He's got his infrastructure bill now. Him and Sinema are going to vote for this and our country will be destroyed.
I am just furious at Kevin McCarthy and GOP Chair Rona.
Tons of dollars going into their coffers that they can hand out to their friends. They don’t care where the money is coming from.
Democrat = totalitarian, Marxist, satanist
Republican = Democrat assistant’s
Any questions?
A big chunk of the “infrastructure” package is going to Amtrak, particularly the Boston to Washington line, which runs through Maryland. Hard to resist the money and kickbacks.
They know where their bread is buttered. Pretty smart by omission.
“I am just furious at Kevin McCarthy and GOP Chair Rona.”
Mega Dittos!
By some estimates, less than 10% of this monstrosity goes to actual roads, bridges, etc. The rest a gift to big business and liberals that love batteries.
