Republican Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio), the lead GOP negotiator on infrastructure, said Sunday that he is “not happy” about Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to delay a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal until a larger reconciliation package is passed.
“The infrastructure bill has nothing to do with the reckless tax-and-spend extravaganza that she's talking about. ... So, no, I’m not happy with what she said because it's inconsistent with the agreement that we have on a bipartisan basis,” Portman told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”
California is not doing infrastructure and New York wants compensation for lost tax base. This is a revenue sharing issue, pure and simple.
Send me a fat check and I will support Nancy, otherwise this has no real satisfying outcome. I have resigned myself for a Nixon Shock, the issue is too difficult for the system as it is.
