Mica Statement on President Obama's Speech to a Joint Session of Congress

09/08/11

Washington, DC – Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) released the following statement in response to the President’s remarks to a joint session of Congress this evening:
        “While the President reconfirmed that our highways are clogged and our skies are congested, his well delivered address provided only one specific recommendation for building our nation’s infrastructure.
        “Unfortunately, a National Infrastructure Bank run by Washington bureaucrats requiring Washington approval and Washington red tape is moving in the wrong direction.  A better plan to improve infrastructure is to empower our states, 33 of which already have state infrastructure banks.”
