place whereas in places like new york or california or new jersey or massachusetts a handful of states especially. states were even if you go through the permit process your back on track and take the required training they can still deny you a permit and a lot of states that most people aren t able to get a permit and now the supreme court is looking at those laws to see whether or not they stand up to scrutiny against the second amendment so abroad contrast between what texas is doing and what new york is being challenged for. a huge difference. thank you very much for joining us, appreciate your insight. it is official, president
too much rain could be a problem also. we are already trying to think ahead and work with partners to try to mitigate what we can of the additional impact. towns and every place we visited, i see and i ve asked the question, they re all going to do an expedited rebuild. meaning, permits will come a lot faster. then they would normally be. this is us tough situation and another will get fast with expediting to get this rebuilt and redone. it is a great thing. it will make things happen a lot faster. would you like to say something? as a matter fact, the executive order will speed up the permit process as well as other recovery actions. that will help and all i can say is, we re going to have to learn a lot more about nature, about the wind, the fire potential, about how to build, how not to build, how to escap
representing your great states, when we give you money, and you can t get your approvals, i guess we ll have to take that money back or you re not going to build. and some of you are sitting around the table that i know, some of the governors, you re going to get those permits, i have no doubt. others, i see a couple sitting around the table, i don t think they re going to get their permit so fast. but you have to get it because otherwise you re not going to be able to build. we can t give you money and you take 15 years to get a permit. in one state it took 17 years for a basic roadway to get a permit and the cost was many, many, many times what it was supposed to be, and we can t have that. so we want you to get going and work on the permit process. from a federal standpoint environmentally and everything we have to do. scott shee scott is here. we re going to get you permits quickly. it builds rural infrastructure that have been left out. the rural folks have been left

not paying for it, thanks. the president said the total amount would be $1.5 to 1.7 trillion. the federal share would be about $200 million. seed money to be get to statements and local authorities in the form of grants or loans. they re pointing some programs like a infrastructure transportation program. there s no question, we see it here in washington d.c. where we have a toll road all the way up to dulles airport, highway 66 was just turned into a toll road during the peak traffic periods. so maybe that is a model for what s going on or what will go on as a result of this infrastructure plan. one of the other fundamental parts that goes beyond funding is this idea of streamlining the permit process, that can be
