Zac Schultz:

Next week, the U.S. House is scheduled to vote on the $1 trillion infrastructure plan. The rare bipartisan compromise between Senate Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are also looking to advance a separate infrastructure plan that’s much larger and can pass without Republican support. Two Wisconsin congressmen are looking at the bills as one, but with different results.

Mark Pocan:

I think the biggest concern for many of us is we don’t want to just do that pared-down infrastructure bill without the promise we’ve had all along, a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that has a lot of the human infrastructure.

Mike Gallagher:

Right now we don’t even know what’s coming to the floor next week and Pelosi is trying to sequence one or the other. And I think it’s a mistake to think of them as two separate bills. It’s all one gigantic bill that massively increases federal spending.

Zac Schultz:

The infrastructure vote next week will not pass either bill but help set an agenda with further details to be hashed out in September.
