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.

Anybody know the company name that manufactures the inflatable rats the union uses while on strike? Could be a good time to buy some stock…
And, the union criminal thugs will sabotage the equipment, materials, offices and probably homes og the non union labor who are employed to build the bridge. The Operators union thugs will destroy all non union equipment on the jobsite.
The Communist Chinese are really good at building infrastructure. Perhaps they should replace the Key Bridge, renaming it the Mao Memorial Bridge. Better name it after a foreign Communist than a domestic one as are most Democratic heroes.
...but only a minority owned firm will get the contract.
The items you speak of can be averted by the language in the contract.
I spend a good portion of my adult life dealing with union people.
The skilled trades, millwrights, ironworkers, electricians, pipefitters and laborors are among the best workers out there.
They are skilled, highly trained, and if run correctly, cost efficient.
I would trust them before a truckload of illegal immigrants.
Having said that, the non skilled union people can jump on a bus and drive a long time on a short pier
No point arguing, because the bridge will not ever be rebuilt. Lots of money will be spent on the project, but no new bridge ever.
It's not even a sure bet the rubble will be cleared to reopen the port, though that could happen.
Trannies only on the work crew!
Fabulous!
Is there ANYTHING in that Zombie Politician Biden’s world that isn’t Illegal, Immoral, Indecent or just plain disgusting.
He spend his entire LIFE looking for ways to be all of the above.
WHAT A DISGUSTING POS, BIDEN IS .
“The individual must attest”
Just ATTEST? Not provide documentation?
Nobody would ever lie about their alien status, would they?
Such laws are for little people.
Fixed it for them.
