How Would a Split Congress Deal With Infrastructure Bills?

摘要

Midterm election predictions at ENR press time give Democrats a decent chance of taking a House majority and Republicans retaining their Senate hold. That forecast isn't a sure thing. But if it proves true on Nov. 6, construction views are split about whether a big infrastructure bill will fly in a divided Congress. Another question is whether a growing federal deficit will prevent a repeat of this year's budget deal that gave infrastructure programs a two-year bonus of at least $20 billion.
