Governor Larry Hogan issued the following statement after President Biden
announced a bipartisan infrastructure agreement at the White House:

 

“Two years ago, when I launched a national initiative as leader of the
nation’s governors to fix America’s crumbling infrastructure, it was with a day
like this in mind.

 

“The bipartisan infrastructure framework that President Biden endorsed today
is a historic opportunity for Maryland and for America. There is no dispute
that our nation’s roads, bridges, airports, waterways, broadband, and other
vital infrastructure desperately need additional investment and that we can do
so without raising taxes. The only remaining question before us is whether
Washington still has the will to put politics aside and to do what the American
people are overwhelmingly demanding.

 

“I want to thank the bipartisan group in the House and Senate that forged this
agreement for their hard work and partnership over the last several months.
When we convened in Annapolis this April, the conventional wisdom said that a
bipartisan infrastructure bill was dead, but we did not give up. Now, much of
what is in this framework came directly out of our discussions. There is still
more work to be done, and I am ready to do whatever I can to help get this
agreement across the finish line.”

As he’s applauding the agreement, Governor Hogan is calling out Speaker Pelosi
and Majority Leader Schumer “for holding the bipartisan infrastructure bill
endorsed by President Biden ‘hostage’ in order to gain ‘leverage’ on other
spending bills.”

 

Governor Hogan also “pointed out that Biden is ‘campaigning’ on the bipartisan
deal but is refusing to ‘put the heat on’ Pelosi and Schumer to ‘move the bill’
through Congress and to his desk.” According to Governor Hogan, “what we need
is bold leadership, not weakness, not political posturing.”

 

Governor Hogan has been focused on gaining bipartisan consensus on a federal
infrastructure bill since 2019, when as Chair of the National Governors
Association, he launched a national initiative on rebuilding America’s
crumbling infrastructure. In April, Governor Hogan convened a two-day
infrastructure summit in Annapolis, which included a bipartisan group of
senators, governors, and members of the House Problem Solvers Caucus. Much of
the House and Senate bipartisan infrastructure frameworks were agreed to at
Governor Hogan’s summit.

As part of Maryland’s “No Arm Left Behind” campaign, Governor Hogan has
announced a new innovative $1 million scholarship lottery program to encourage
Marylanders ages 12 to 17 to get vaccinated.

 

This follows the overwhelming success of Governor Hogan’s vaccine lottery.
Maryland’s vaccination rates continue to dramatically outpace the nation. While
the nation fell short of President Biden’s goal to vaccinate 70% of adults,
Maryland met this ambitious goal by Memorial Day. 92.1% of Marylanders 65 and
over and 75.2% of Maryland adults have received at least one dose

 of the vaccine.

Enough of the same toxic partisan politics and Washington gridlock that has
failed to deliver a bipartisan infrastructure bill for decades. Getting this
done is going to take bold leadership, not weakness or political posturing.

The common sense infrastructure approach developed at our Annapolis Summit has
broad bipartisan support.

Continuing to hold it hostage is completely reckless.

It's time to drop the political games and get this done for the American
people.[link removed] <[link removed]>
