How do we define infrastructure?
How much should we spend?
How do we pay for it?
These are some of the many questions that are on people’s minds, but the biggest question is, can Republicans and Democrats actually work together and cut a bipartisan infrastructure deal?
This past week proves that the answer is a resounding yes.
Last Thursday, the Senate passed the bipartisan Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021 (DWWIA).
As the top Republican–also known as the Ranking Member–of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, I worked closely with Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) to craft this meaningful legislation that addresses our country’s aging drinking water and wastewater systems.
