Has Cori Bush been doing her job?

Have our representatives in Washington been doing their job?

Below is a photo that could be taken in any corner of the City or North County.  Our infrastructure, whether it be roads, bridges, water-mains, sidewalks or curbs, is crumbling.

 

Shortly after taking office, President Joe Biden introduced an infrastructure bill.  This ambitious legislation would undertake the most impactful infrastructure re-build that our nation has seen. 

Biden's bill passed but without the support of Congresswoman Cori Bush.  Incredibly, she voted No on a program that is desperately needed throughout her district. She and her fellow Squad members wanted to 'send a message to Biden'. 

St. Louis residents are lucky that President Biden is not punishing us for Bush's vote and money is finding its way to our projects. 

No thanks are due to Cori Bush.  She put the interests of her Squad--her new friends in Washington--over the interests of her district.

These pot-holes happen to be in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis but they could be anywhere.  Send us a photo of your 'favorite' infrastructure-fail to verdadcommunications@gmail.com!
