White House starts video series on crumbling infrastructure in McConnell's home state

[TexasTowelie]

The White House Monday launched a series of videos to highlight crumbling infrastructure in Eastern Kentucky as part of a media push to drum up support for President Joe Biden’s proposed infrastructure bill.

As moderate Democrats and Republicans have been at loggerheads in coming up with an agreement on how much money to allocate to fixing roads, bridges and drinking water – among other projects – the White House made videos highlighting the lack of broadband access and clean drinking water in Eastern Kentucky.

One follows Danielle Adams of Pikeville as she heads into town to get online when her wifi goes down in her home. In the other, BarbiAnn Miner in Martin County shows off the dirty tap water in her kitchen sink and some of the decrepit roads and bridges in Martin County.

“People talk about ‘Eastern Kentucky is poor and they don’t really have anything,’” Miner says in the video. “Well, how are we ever going to have anything if our government won’t invest in our infrastructure?”

21. Wrong target as Mitch is secure for atleast the next 6 years assuming he remains in office and

decides to run again rather than retire.
No, the ones to target over this are the Republican Senators that are going to have to be running for election in 2022 as those are the weakest links.

[Joinfortmill]

22. Omg! This is awesome!

[summer_in_TX]

23. All three videos are great - and I'm glad they were captioned.

I was able to watch with the sound off so my husband could watch his show.

Those who have a hearing impairment will be included in being able to access the message.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. How bizarre is it that the good people of Kentucky keep on electing

politicians who have no interest in improving the lives of ordinary people. Collectively, they only have themselves to blame.
