NRDC On Clean Water Infrastructure

[WHITT]

Erik Olson of the 'Natural Resources Defense Council' talks to the 'PBS Newshour' about what is in the Senate 'bipartisan' infrastructure bill (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act):

...there's $15 billion to help pull out some of the lead pipes in the country. So, the estimates from the 'Environmental Protection Agency' are, it's going to cost at least around $45 billion, maybe more than that, to pull out all the lead pipes. So we're putting a down payment of around $15 billion. It'll take care of maybe a third of that problem.

1. Bipartisanship to the reTHUGS means "We're gonna screw this up as much as we can".

Let's focus on passing the partisan high-priced bill. We'll be glad we did.
