As the Democratic candidates for president prepared for the Nevada caucus last weekend, several discussed infrastructure proposals during an event in Las Vegas.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and businessman Tom Steyer all said they want to repair existing roads and bridges, but also invest in next-generation infrastructure projects. That would include high-speed rail and updated water facilities.
“The Democratic candidates proposing infrastructure upgrades said they would pay for them largely by undoing Mr. Trump’s tax cuts for businesses, along with a variety of other steps,” the Wall Street Journal reported. Upgrading American infrastructure is a priority issue for NAIOP this year.
