Senator Alex Padilla discusses infrastructure bill’s impact on Central California
$30 billion is coming to California from a bipartisan bill that Democrats pushed through Congress last month. Most of the funding will go toward improving highways and roads, which engineers rank among the worst in the country. … Senator [Alex] Padilla says the money will help fund improvement projects along Highway 99 as well as the 41. The Democrat is calling it an important piece of legislation that includes priorities to modernize the state’s utilities, improve internet connectivity in rural areas, and revamp water infrastructure.
