CHARLESTON, W.Va. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote later this week on passing the chamber’s bipartisan infrastructure bill as lawmakers on Monday began working on the legislation.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is the byproduct of negotiations between a bipartisan group of senators and the White House, and includes $550 billion in new spending over five years on projects related to roads, electricity, broadband and water systems.
“Nobody of probably the 100 of us think this bill is absolutely perfect. It never would be, and there’s always a saying going around: If we all thought it was perfect, there’s something wrong with it,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said Monday on the Senate floor.
