President Biden vowed on Friday that the federal government would cover the cost of rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore – and that the work would be done by union labor, potentially setting up a funding fight with the conservative wing of the House of Representatives.
Biden has promised from the outset that the federal government would pay for the bridge to be rebuilt. His comments on Friday came after the House Freedom Caucus — the conservative wing of the House of Representatives — released a series of conditions for federal funding for the bridge.
The conditions include waiving environmental and union wage regulations "to avoid all unnecessary delays and costs." The conservative group also said in a statement that the government should first seek compensation from foreign shipping companies responsible for the damage.

expect a few strikes to happen also.
“The conditions include waiving environmental and union wage regulations “to avoid all unnecessary delays and costs.” The conservative group also said in a statement that the government should first seek compensation from foreign shipping companies responsible for the damage.”
That is what should happen and probably won’t happen.
YA ! , after off the books “ON BREAK” spana-ricans died...while doing work on potholes. May God smite this heathen self-serving bastard to the end of time. I truly despise this fool with all my worth. Biden the traitor...hang him high and let the crows eat his corpse.
Non-union labor on a Federally funded project is never going to happen, especially not in Maryland.
L
2035. Sounds about right.
Exactly, cost overruns and delayed openings.
He’s all about stuffing his and Hunter’s wallets.
....... EVERY Reaction to Everything that happens this Election Season will be EXTREMELY Political!!!!
.
Big Dig II.
I’ll take the over on 10 years.
The Gordie Howe Bridge was approved in 2013, and they are not close to finished.
Everything has to be f’n political...for votes...Union workers hear and obey. Sc** “We the People”
Or do you want the unions to hand out union cards to illegals as they cross the border?
Can illegals be union members?
Because he skirted that issue today and then again told us how he understand what the illegal families are going thru because Joe also got those upsetting calls in the night….
So the job will be poorly done in 15 years. way to go Joe!
Over budget and over deadline.
That’s the union way.
Whatever Biden wants, whatever Biden does, is illegitimate.It is legally null and void. He is a poser. An imposter. A puppet. And may I add, a stupid, senile, quintessential PRICK.
10 years?! I’m guessing you’re a “glass half full” person.
We all know the history of the Big Dig in Boston.
What is so virtuous about union membership? Is it some kind of religious organization, perhaps some form of a cult? Once having declared fealty to the sacred aspirations of union membership. what are the costs of apostasy? Are you to be scourged in the public square, or is there further divine punishment to be visited upon the backslider stretching into eternity?
Big Dig part deax!
