Speakout
(Opinion ~ 12/31/21)
Thank you for such a well-written and accurate article. I researched it. Your Speakout article was 100% accurate. Highway road repairs: $6.5 billion, cyberattack protection: $19 million, airports development: $246 million, bridge replacements and repairs: $484 million, public transportation: $674 million, expanding network of electric vehicle chargers: $99 million, wildlife protection: $21 million, water infrastructure and safety: $866 million and broadband internet expansion: $100 million. This comes to $9 billion and it’s all for Missouri. I’m glad you wrote that Dec. 1, 2021, article for Speakout. Our people just need to remember this information and that the above-listed programs are coming. Like you said, “create a generation of good-paying jobs and economic growth.” It’s saddening that Josh Hawley and Jason Smith voted against all this.
