The US Senate is getting back to work on a nationwide infrastructure bill this week.
A somewhat bipartisan bill is expected to be pushed hard this week in Washington DC. It’s a pared down bill that doesn’t have total backing from all Democrats or Republicans. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin says the test for the smaller, $900 billion plan will be simple math. And if there aren’t 60 votes for the infrastructure plan then the path forward gets a little more difficult.
Durbin says many other votes are being planned for this month on broadband expansion and day care funding.
