Senate Dems float $1 trillion infrastructure spending plan

Water and wastewater infrastructure funding programs at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would receive an additional $110 billion over the next 10 years as part of a massive $1 trillion infrastructure spending plan unveiled by Senate Democrats in January. 

A Blueprint to Rebuild America’s Infrastructure proposes major funding boosts for a broad range of infrastructure sectors, including roads and bridges, rail and transit, public schools, broadband, hospitals and airports. But with Republicans having control of both chambers of Congress, the Democrats’ blueprint stands little chance of fully advancing.
