The White House's infrastructure plan gave states guidance to invest in eco-friendly projects.

On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) released a letter directing state and local governments to ignore the Biden administration's suggested guidelines to focus on projects that are good for the environment.

The Republican senators complained that a December memo from Stephanie Pollack, deputy administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, amounted to a "wish list of policies." The letter encouraged state and local governments to invest in projects like bike and pedestrian paths, public transportation, and charging stations for electric vehicles.

In November, President Joe Biden signed the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. The following month, the White House released a set of guidelines directing states and municipalities to use their federal infrastructure funds on projects that increase sustainability and equity. Projects that advance environmental justice are expected to use roughly one-fifth of the law's funds, or $240 billion.
