Letter to the editor: Thanks to Doyle for supporting infrastructure bill

I want to thank U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, for his vote in support of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and support of President Biden’s economic recovery plans. As our community emerges stronger on the other side of the covid-19 pandemic, Southwestern Pennsylvania needs and deserves an investment in our region in roads and bridges, health care and the long overdue creation of good- paying union jobs.

The infrastructure bill will begin the single largest dedicated bridge investment in more than 50 years, increase economic growth in the southwest by creating jobs to repair roads and expand public transit by helping to build more busways to reduce congestion.

This landmark achievement is an important success for Pennsylvania, but Congress must pass the rest of the president’s agenda to complete our comeback. Pennsylvanians deserve reduced drug prices, expanded health care and child care. I hope the congressman will continue his support of the agenda to get everyone back to work and build a more vibrant Pittsburgh region for everyone.
