WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08) voted against the House Democrat’s infrastructure bill, H.R. 3684, the INVEST In America Act. This bill reauthorizes surface transportation programs at $547.9 billion over 5 years and puts climate and Green New Deal goals above core infrastructure needs. For example, $1 out of every $2 spent in this bill is tied up in Green New Deal mandates.
“There is no doubt our nation’s infrastructure needs improvement. We can all agree on that. However, this partisan piece of legislation focuses on all the wrong things. It drastically expands the definition of infrastructure and prioritizes Green New Deal policies that will ultimately be funded by tax increases. I look forward to working with my colleagues to get a bipartisan infrastructure bill passed that will serve all Americans,” said Rep. Kustoff.
