The fact that Republicans can boast about infrastructure spending *that they voted against* and not pay any political price is a clear symptom of a sick US political system in which politicians can brazenly lie and wildly mislead without any risk of real accountability.

This falls into the "vote no and take the dough" category. The local matching funds match millions from part of the the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which Rep. Boebert called "wasteful" and "garbage." https://t.co/8AsLhWocdf https://t.co/uIhotaXrbO
