Every dollar put into the government’s broken project delivery system or toward expanding the definition of infrastructure is a dollar taken away from actually turning dirt and pouring concrete for new roads and bridges. https://t.co/YONIWMCiZX — PolitiTweet.org

A bill we are pushing would provide some flexibility for these $ to quickly turn dirt on projects - improving the efficiency & capacity of our airports at a faster pace. Unfinished projects don’t get planes, consumers, goods, or services moving on time. https://t.co/tNSkR8rTTP — PolitiTweet.org

Throw in parking, luggage, waiting in lines, short-staffed airport businesses, delays, cancelations, and being cramped on planes, and you start to appreciate all that goes into taking a flight. — PolitiTweet.org

Airport infrastructure can make or break a trip, and the right investments help ensure a safe, efficient, and enjoyable travel experience. The funds will be provided through the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP). — PolitiTweet.org

Over $4.2 is headed to @BTRairport to help fund construction of a service road. These funds will increase safety and flight options – helping us expand the airport that serves the Baton Rouge region. https://t.co/TTjOPlsZNq — PolitiTweet.org

The STARTER Act we introduced would result in more roads and bridges being built because it addresses reforming the project delivery process. Read more here: https://t.co/AEeJeV6zuJ — PolitiTweet.org

We have POTUS basically saying, “I get what I want, or nobody gets anything.” And if he does get his way, it will be hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on the expansion of failed social welfare programs & paying people to not work – instead of $ going to build roads & bridges — PolitiTweet.org

This “deal” ignores the first-order, project delivery problems that are the reason why the government is failing at infrastructure to begin with – and by simply putting good money on top of bad, all it will do is increase the number of bad outcomes we already have. — PolitiTweet.org

This supposed bipartisan infrastructure deal is a disaster. It’s a fundamental mistake to let President Biden hold infrastructure hostage with the veto threat contingent on he and the left getting their partisan “human infrastructure” spending package. https://t.co/AEeJeV6zuJ — PolitiTweet.org

Joined @MariaBartiromo this morning on @MorningsMaria to discuss how we need to address the core needs of American infrastructure. We have to make major investments in areas such as roads, bridges, ports, waterways, airports and flood protection. https://t.co/43kzPRm1Ox — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill to advance restoration of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin passed through the U.S. House. More than 1/3 of Louisianans live in the Lake Pontchartrain Basin – fishing its lakes, boating along its waterways, building businesses and growing their families with its resources. https://t.co/GrP8NVhvCk — PolitiTweet.org

The Administration’s decision to cancel America's energy leasing will result in higher gas prices and less funding for hurricane protection, flood control and coastal restoration. We raised these concerns initially in January. https://t.co/KyYP9vb0Fq — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill to expedite airport infrastructure projects passed through the U.S. House.

The Mississippi River is America’s Commerce Superhighway. Its capacity and importance to the U.S. economy is second to none. When the channel fills in and large ships are unable to safely transit the river, it sends ripple effects through Louisiana’s economy and impacts our jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to see project announcements, but this process lacks the regional scale, urgency and transparency taxpayers deserve. A good bit of flooding from the May storm is preventable if we allocate the resources to the right projects with a greater sense of urgency. — PolitiTweet.org

And money is an important part of the solution, but it doesn’t do any good sitting in the bank. We’re almost five years past the 2016 Flood, years after we secured the dollars and the money is slowly trickling out on localized projects. — PolitiTweet.org
