testimony before congress secretary buttigieg said the american rescue plan has some flexibility in it that he thinks can be usedd to support road budgets that been impacted. states and cities shouldn't just be able to spend this money. they should be able to invest it in projects and resources are communities need the most. this is simply a commonsense change both sides should be able to get behind. it interest monies that is only going out the door will be used before it expires. it puts a decision-making at the local level and gives leaders more flexibility to decide how to use this federal funding on their most urgent needs and it does as i said without increasing the national deficit at all. this amendment has won the support of a broad range of organizations across the country and i'm proud to work with senator padilla to craft this amendment in the way that both sides can get behind it. in the coming days i hope this will be one of many an image that will receive a vote on the senate floor perhaps as early as today. we have to ensure that infrastructure investments are p made fa
