WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Peter Meijer (R-MI), a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, today issued the following statement regarding the Caucus’s release of a new report of bipartisan policy recommendations to build a strong 21st Century infrastructure network:
“I am excited to support this bipartisan, common sense proposal to make necessary and long-overdue investments in our nation’s infrastructure that align revenues with user fees, seek to invest as efficiently as possible, and align investments with economic priorities. I hope the Biden Administration will welcome this well-crafted, good-faith bipartisan approach and move swiftly to adopt its tenets to rebuild the country posterity deserves.”
The report was endorsed by the 58-member bipartisan Caucus, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats. It was developed using a consensus-driven approach with input from all 58 members and a significant number of industry and government stakeholders.
From the Caucus:
“The report puts forward a set of policies to serve as a bipartisan framework for addressing the dire need to rebuild and responsibly invest in infrastructure across the nation. It details bipartisan policy solutions that will improve the country’s highways, roads and bridges, transit and railways, ports and airports, water and sewer systems, energy systems and the power grid, and broadband and communications networks.
“The report also helps define the scope of a bipartisan agreement on a transportation and infrastructure plan.
“The release of the report is another step in the Problem Solvers Caucus’s efforts to help advance bipartisan infrastructure discussions. Earlier this month, the Caucus penned a letter to President Biden, Secretary Buttigieg, Speaker Pelosi, and Leaders Schumer, McCarthy, and McConnell calling on them to promote a bipartisan path forward on infrastructure for America.”
