WASHINGTON — Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego joined other mayors and governors at the White House Wednesday to push for the administration’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, a measure she has said is needed to reverse decades of “massive underinvestment.”
The meeting was part of a White House push for the plan that includes scheduled visits to Arizona by Cabinet secretaries Thursday to talk about infrastructure needs, as some Senate Republicans are balking at the overall size of the measure.
Gallego rattled off a laundry list of issues that need to be addressed in Arizona, ranging from transportation to water infrastructure, from wildfire protection to investments in semiconductor manufacturing.
