Senate Panel Advances Infrastructure Overhaul as Opponents Warn of Fiscal Risk
The $420 billion measure, backed by committee leadership, now heads to the full chamber amid widening partisan divisions
WASHINGTON — The Senate Finance Committee voted 12–9 Tuesday to advance a sweeping infrastructure package, as Republican critics warned the $420 billion measure lacked adequate fiscal safeguards and had not undergone sufficient review.
Committee Chair Eleanor Voss called the bill "a decisive step toward the long-overdue rebuilding of America's infrastructure," while opposition members characterized the vote as a rushed process that sidesteps serious scrutiny.
