Negotiators on Thursday were working to resolve two issues standing in the way of a bipartisan infrastructure package: a disagreement over transit funding and how to handle a broadband internet component.

A fight that popped up earlier in the week over whether to use a Medicare-related pay-for, which White House officials want to save for a later reconciliation package, has been resolved, however.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a key member of the bipartisan group, gave reporters an update on negotiations shortly before noon Thursday, as she was en route to sub-group meeting to hammer out some of the remaining issues.

Negotiators are meeting in small groups on Thursday before most of the Senate leaves town for the weekend, although a broader meeting of the entire core bipartisan group of 10 senators has not been planned.

Among others hate the idea of municipal web. The fossil fuel companies hate the idea of good reliable public transport.

Eventually these greedy monopoly internet/ cable companies and the greedy car and fuel companies need to be told to fuck off and die.
