WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an interview on CNN on Sunday that she has “no intention” of abandoning parts of Democrats’ infrastructure goals not included in a proposal put forward on Thursday by a group of 10 Senate moderates.
A source familiar with the deal https://www.reuters.com/world/us/senate-republican-leader-mcconnell-new-infrastructure-plan-collins-2021-06-10 reached by 10 senators said it would cost $974 billion over five years and includes $579 billion in new spending. That was well below President Joe Biden’s current $1.7 trillion proposal.
