“We made great progress in the passage of SB 108 FASTER in 2009. This will raise $250 million per year for investment in roads and bridges. We must do everything we can to protect this funding, and back those who supported it. Also, we have to look ahead to further increase funding for all forms of infrastructure, including not only roads and bridges, but water and wastewater facilities as well.”
