WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 8, 2018) – “The plan put forward by House Democrats includes much-needed investments in our nation’s infrastructure that will also create quality jobs and make our communities more sustainable and resilient. This blueprint provides a significant public investment and includes key measures like Davis-Bacon prevailing wage provisions to ensure the jobs created are family-sustaining jobs, Buy America provisions to support domestic manufacturing, and prioritizes making our communities and infrastructure systems more resilient.

“These are the kinds of job-creating policies we will be looking for in any plan released by the president in the near future. We need a bipartisan solution to repair these crumbling systems that we rely on every day and that solution must adhere to the principles put forward by House Democrats today.”
