The true local story of the importance of the recent infrastructure bill was told in the Nov. 23 column, “ After a long road, be thankful for infrastructure funding .”
The same stories exist across the country of the need to pass the Build Back Better bill in the Senate. The House can be praised for already passing it. Imagine the millions of families which will benefit from extending the child tax credit that lifted 3.5 million children out of poverty, the expansion of child care so parents can afford to work, and the lowering of drug and health care costs.
It is time to call on our senators (202-224-3121) to pass Build Back Better for a brighter future for all Americans.
