Prospect. A month after i became majority leader i direct canned the chairs and members of our relevant committees to start drafting a package to create new american jobs with the endless frontier act serving as the core of this earth. I also this effort. I also said to everyone, to people on both sides of the aisle, that if both sides worked together, id put a bill on the floor of the senate later that spring, and thats what happened when we overwhelmingly passed the act in june of 2021.

Across the country, home prices have risen 13. 4 from last year, with the National Median price now at 416,000. In my state, the Rhode Island Association of realtors reports that the median price of homes sold in june 2022, reached an alltime high of 430,000. Thats 11. 7 higher than a year earlier.
