The latest on infrastructure Source: BY MATTHEW CHOI, Politico • Posted: Monday, May 24, 2021
The White House sent an updated infrastructure proposal to Republicans on Friday, cutting the price tag by about $500 billion from $2.25 trillion to $1.7 trillion. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said it was in an effort to seek “common ground” with Republicans, who have been calling for a drastically cheaper package.
But Republicans didn’t seem convinced. Senate EPW ranking member Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said the latest offer was “well above the range of what can pass Congress with bipartisan support” and “the groups seem further apart after two meetings with White House staff than they were after one meeting with President Biden.”
