RIP Infrastructure Week; We barely knew ya

“The White House formally drove a dagger into the passage this year of the kind of massive infrastructure package called for by President Trump,” Roll Call reports.

“What is on the White House’s legislative agenda for the rest of the year includes another tax package, a farm bill, more federal judiciary nominations — and possibly immigration legislation.”

“White House legislative affairs chief Marc Short told reporters Friday that infrastructure will slide into 2019. He blamed election-year politics, saying Democrats have signaled in recent conversations they are uninterested in handing Trump a victory ahead of the midterm elections.”
 
Well to be honest Ex infrastructure belongs on the states plates. If there crap is crumbling its the governors and legislatures fault. Indiana raised there gas tax 10 cents cuz we have so many roads and bridges deficient, South Carolina is going to raise it over a set number of years and Georgia decided they couldn't afford another penny per gallon tax raise so the people voted against it, not the legislature because the people got to vote on it.
