Kentucky senators split votes on infrastructure measure

  • 0

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) â€� Kentucky’s Republican senators split their votes on a Senate-approved $1 trillion infrastructure plan. Mitch McConnell supported the measure Tuesday and Rand Paul opposed it. McConnell says the measure shows senators from both parties can “still come together around commonsense solutions.â€� McConnell says the measure would deliver at least $5.1 billion over several years for work on Kentucky roads and bridges. Paul says the state has “real infrastructure needsâ€� but says the measure is about more than roads, bridges and clean water. He says it’s step one of the “Green New Deal.â€� The Senate vote sends the bill to the House.Â
