Republican governors mostly silent on infrastructure bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic governors hailed passage of a bipartisan infrastructure package that will send billions of dollars to state coffers to launch new projects and rebuild crumbling roads and bridges.

But only a handful of their Republican colleagues heralded the bill, which won votes from 19 Republican senators and 13 Republicans in the House.

"This bipartisan bill will put America's infrastructure on the right track to grow jobs and make our economy competitive for the twenty-first century without raising taxes or adding to the debt," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said in a statement. "After decades of gridlock, I'm proud to have helped push the federal government to finally act."

Hogan, who spent a year as chairman of the bipartisan National Governors Association (NGA) during former President Trump's term in office, hosted a bipartisan group of governors and members of Congress to lay out priorities.

2. Our mayor praised the bill

And thanked the state's congresspeople for passing it. Problem: none of those from our town voted for the bill.

4. There waiting to see if they should sabotage it or take the credit for it

5. Wait until the money starts rolling in to their states,

and suddenly it will be the greatest thing ever and they were always totally in favor of it.

6. with my luck

deathsentence will probably file a lawsuit in order to refuse the money and then the legislature will pass a law allowing anyone afraid of science, technology and progress to run over any solar farm arrays that might frighten them.
