Ive seen it happen in my prior life as a mayor, and i see opportunities for this all across the country. In dubuque, iowa, dubuque, iowa, usdot helped redesign the roads in part of the city where old mills and factories laid vacant. And when we did that, ibm moved in and gave those old factories a new lease on life. You all know this. You get it. You understand it. And the chamber, as i mentioned, has been one of the loudest voices calling for an increase in the gas tax. Your president , tom donohue, has been a very vocal leader on this issue.
