Illinois Chamber President Todd Maisch wrote an editorial for the Daily Herald newspaper this Sunday calling for bipartisan cooperation in Washington D.C. with an emphasis on potential areas of broad agreement including infrastructure. A sampling of the article below:
Equally important to America's economy is the foundation of transportation, energy, water and communications infrastructure our country is built upon. Despite its importance, we have let this infrastructure begin to crumble and fall behind our economic competitors in the world. Many states, including Illinois, have shown they can muster bipartisan support to invest in our economic future by investing in our critical infrastructure. Washington should follow their bipartisan lead and pass a comprehensive infrastructure bill.
I'll be back on Friday with a regular edition of the newsletter highlighting some newly filed legislation.
