Echo Press posts a letter to the editor…

Born and raised in Minnesota, I appreciate many things about our wonderful state, and I’m glad to see it getting a boost forward. The newly enacted infrastructure bill brings us billions of dollars to improve Minnesota roads, bridges, water systems, and broadband Internet. This huge investment in the physical and digital resources we all rely on every day benefits our businesses, schools, workers and students.

This popular bill passed the US House and Senate with bipartisan support; however, Representative Michelle Fischbach, Minnesota District 7, voted against it. It is inexcusable that my elected representative opposes a bill that supports jobs and has a positive impact on the people she has sworn to represent.
