Our infrastructure is deteriorating due to decades of neglect. Last fall, Brevard County raised utility taxes to provide for the needed funds to address the deficiencies. Wastewater treatment plants have all too frequent spills and residential growth is taxing our outdated systems. There are still areas of Indian River County with no broadband internet access and there are communities that flood with every hard rain. There is much work to be done.

When the infrastructure bill came up in Congress, not only did Bill Posey vote against it, but unlike Republican Representatives from across the country, he did not participate in defining any local projects.  Even Ron DeSantis commented that Florida was shortchanged.   We pay federal taxes, too.  We should get our fair share of infrastructure investment that we badly need.  I will represent our community in the planning of federal infrastructure investment.
