Hasn't he moved away from that plan? I thought the spending plan was now to fund repairs on existing roads.

- frgtpsswrdlame 10y agoWell there hasn't been too much discussion about it as of late because of problems with the republican congress and DJT's notorious ambiguity. I did find this though: >White House spokesman Sean Spicer said "strong public-private partnerships" would be key to rebuilding the nation's roads, bridges and airports. "Infrastructure used to be a point of American pride, but now an overbearing, ineffective regulatory system can keep projects in limbo for years," Spicer said. "The government has wasted too much of the taxpayers' money on inefficient and misguided projects." The White House sees infrastructure as a potential large job creator but officials have said the federal government cannot shoulder the entire burden. The administration is looking at toll roads, tax credits and other ways to spur private investment. Major real estate and private equity executives attended the meeting, including developer Richard LeFrak, Vornado Realty Trust Chief Executive Officer Steve Roth, and Apollo Global Management co-founder Josh Harris, the White House said. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-infrastructure-musk-idUSKBN16F1JI http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-infrastructure-m... That would lead me to believe tax breaks for toll roads is still on the table.
