President Joe Biden s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal is the latest hope for a long-neglected bridge that politicians and business leaders have wanted to upgrade for decades.
Each day, some 160,000 cars and trucks cross the Brent Spence Bridge, which carries commuters and freight over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky.
That’s double the load the bridge part of a busy North-South commerce corridor that ties into interstates 71 and 75 was built for in the 1960s. Concrete has been known to rain down from it. Traffic jams are common. Wrecks, too. After two semis collided in November, causing a damaging fire, the bridge closed for six weeks. Public officials emphasize it is structurally sound, but in 1998, the federal government deemed it “functionally obsolete.”
State lawmakers seek long-term limit on governors’ emergency power

As governors loosen long-lasting coronavirus restrictions, state lawmakers across the U.S. are taking actions to significantly limit the power they could wield in future emergencies.
The legislative measures are aimed not simply at undoing mask mandates and capacity limits that have been common during the pandemic. Many proposals seek to fundamentally shift power away from governors and toward lawmakers the next time there is a virus outbreak, terrorist attack or natural disaster.
“The COVID pandemic has been an impetus for a re-examination of balancing of legislative power with executive powers,” said Pam Greenberg, a policy researcher at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
