Once again, reality of projects that are necessary, that actually help almost any American in that part of the country that makes all of America better. It is done because many people were involved in the decision. Trump thinks only he can make decisions for everyone. Trump is so smart, that only he can decide everything.

When trump passed a tax cut, he took away funds from each state. Guess what, here in Tennessee we raised the sales tax, the real estate tax, they had to raise taxes to make up the shortfall. Republicans do not understand, states must balance themselves each year, only the federal government can run a deficit. That's another reason why America works so well. Unfortunately some RED states take advantage of the system.

I looked in vain for a clause or two in the Bill's provisions for WV to confirm B4's assertions/conclusions that a Bill from the Dems would discriminate against 'rural communities and historically underserved populations'; would betray those communities and populations much like SS, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA have. No soap.😏

By reaching communities all across West Virginia – including rural communities and historically underserved
populations – the law makes critical investments that will improve the lives of West
Virginians and position the state for success.

President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is Delivering in West Virginia
As of March 2024

The Biden-Harris Administration has hit the ground running to implement the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, and it is already delivering results for the people of West Virginia. To
date, $4.7 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding has been announced and is
headed to West Virginia with over 201 specific projects identified for funding.

Since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed, approximately $2.5 billion has been announced
for transportation – to invest in roads, bridges, public transit, ports and airports – and
roughly $267 million has been announced for clean water and water infrastructure.

West Virginia received $1.3 billion to connect everyone in the state to reliable high-speed
internet and, as of today, more than 129,000 West Virginia households are already
saving on their monthly internet bill due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Many more
projects will be added in the coming months, as funding opportunities become grant
awards and as formula funds become specific projects.

By reaching communities all across West Virginia – including rural communities and historically underserved
populations – the law makes critical investments that will improve the lives of West
Virginians and position the state for success.
