あらすじ・解説
Louisiana is at a crossroads when it comes to infrastructure. Today, we dive into the state’s infrastructure challenges and the transformative impact of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment Act. We discuss Senator Bill Cassidy’s key role in securing $1.2 trillion in federal funding, which is helping to repair roads, bridges, and expand broadband access across Louisiana. While these investments are reshaping the state, we question why most Louisiana politicians voted against the bill yet continue to claim credit for its benefits.
From the GUMBO program’s effort to close the digital divide to funding for clean energy, job creation, and storm resiliency, we explore how these initiatives are making a tangible difference. We also examine the disconnect between voters, their elected leaders, and the importance of holding politicians accountable for their decisions. Tune in to learn how these generational investments are setting Louisiana up for a brighter future.
