Thompson Refuses to Tie America’s Infrastructure to Reckless Liberal Wish List

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson today released the following statement after voting against the H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act:

"There was an opportunity to come together and draft a bipartisan, bicameral bill to address America's aging infrastructure. Rather, House Democrats boldly linked infrastructure to a spending bill that is full of budget gimmicks and will cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars. To add insult to injury, the bill fails to adequately address one of the most critical infrastructure needs, broadband connectivity. This is completely unacceptable and further reflects how out of touch Speaker Pelosi is with the concerns of everyday American families."
