Ohio’s Republican Senator was on Meet the Press Sunday morning to talk about working with President Biden on the proposed two trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. Rob Portman says infrastructure has always been a bipartisan issue and sees a better opportunity for Republicans to work the White House on this bill, than during the last COVID-19 relief package which was pushed through by the Democrats. Infrastructure is just a small part of the bill. Other parts include free tuition for two years at a community college. Portman say he would like to see some of those federal dollars used to train workers for the jobs that are in demand right now.
