Description

Expanded rail systems. Funding for crumbling roads and bridges. A new
fleet of electric vehicles.. There’s a lot in Biden’s new infrastructure
proposal. There’s also a big price tag. POLITICO’s Sam Mintz and
Dispatch’s Jeremy Siegel hop aboard the ‘$2 Trillion Infrastructure Plan
Express’ for a quick tour of Biden’s goals — and look at whether they
have any chance of making it through Congress. Plus, Democrats are
poised to reintroduce legislation that aims to reshape college sports.
And a group of unions are demanding the Biden administration forgive
student loans for public service workers.
Sam Mintz is a transportation reporter for POLITICO.
