US Representative Cheri Bustos of Illinois says an infrastructure package vote could be just around the corner.
On Friday, Bustos told Brownfield, “I am more encouraged this week than I was the week before. My hope is that we will be able to vote on this in about a week from now.”
Bustos and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack met with the Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District Friday for a tour of Lock and Dam 15 on the upper Mississippi River to underscore the importance of the $2.5 billion earmarked for inland waterway infrastructure in the bill.
