ALLENTOWN<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Kevin Dellicker, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in PA\u2019s 7th Congressional District, issued the following statement on the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that cleared the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday:<\/p>\n \u201cInflation is the highest in decades, the deficit is the worst since World War II, and supply shortages are crushing small businesses and working families. The answer to these problems is not more deficit spending, more government programs, and more federal mandates. But that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s in this 2,740-page monstrosity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Stating that he would have been a solid \u201cno\u201d vote on the trillion dollar bill, Dellicker pointed out that the legislation adds $256 billion to the federal deficit, on top of the $1.9 trillion bill passed in March and the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act currently in the Congress. Yet, the bill fails to address the real infrastructure challenges facing Pennsylvania and the nation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis kind of out-of-control spending endorsed by Rep. Susan Wild prioritizes the wants of Washington progressives over the needs of local voters,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0said Dellicker. He offered a few examples from the infrastructure bill:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Lehigh Valley has many real infrastructure needs, like upgrading our roads and bridges, improving our water treatment plants, and removing hazardous materials from our schools. Those needs are being squeezed by irresponsible spending on things that have nothing to do with real infrastructure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n For more information about Mr. Dellicker\u2019s candidacy, please visit\u00a0www.dellicker.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Military information and references to Mr. Dellicker\u2019s military service do not imply endorsement by the Department of Defense, Air Force, Army, or National Guard.<\/em><\/p>\n Information provided to TVL by: ALLENTOWN\u00a0\u2013 Kevin Dellicker, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in PA\u2019s 7th Congressional District, issued the following statement on the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that cleared the … Continue reading Kevin Dellicker Statement on House Passage of the $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill<\/span> \n
