The new "Infrastructure Law" will benefit our roads, replace lead water pipes, and increase high-speed internet.

 —On Monday, President Joe Biden signed into law a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. Speaking from the South Lawn at the White House, the President said: "We're taking a monumental step forward to build back better as a nation."

The spending law includes billions of dollars for Michigan.  The money will include funding to fix roads, replace lead water pipes, expand access to high-speed internet and increase the number of electric vehicle charging stations.

States should begin receiving funding by the spring.

Lawmakers and the Governor will decide which projects will be funding.   some state and municipalities will also be able to apply for some competitive grants.

Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
