The United States Congress is currently working on the American Jobs Plan proposed by President Biden, an infrastructure plan that aims to help rebuild and modernize the country. Congresswoman Cindy Axne tells KNIA News infrastructure is what is necessary to what keeps our country running, and includes more than what is commonly associated with infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

“I can’t think of things more important to that than broadband, certainly all of our transportation issues, and I also think things like clean biofuels. So I think this is a really important bill and I am excited for it. It will create jobs, and when I asked Secretary Buttigieg last week about how many jobs it would create for whom, he said about 70% of it would go towards folks with high school degrees.”

Congresswoman Axne will be featured on an upcoming In Depth with Dr. Bob Leonard.
