US infrastructure splurge extends to remote New Mexico farms

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

After voting against infrastructure, Lauren Boebert dimly wonders why we don't spend more on it

We know Rep. Lauren Boebert has a brain. The drool patterns on her blouse are prima facie evidence of intelligent design, rather than random chance. They were analyzed by the same Oxford University forensics team that declared the Shroud of Turin a modern-day forgery after finding an uneaten Toblerone in one of its inside coat pockets. So we know that’s legit.

Dark Brandon takes on Kevin McCarthy

President Joe Biden called it back at the State of the Union address in February: Republicans who voted against the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act would soon be claiming credit when the funding arrived. As he said then, “I promised I’d be a president for all Americans. We’ll fund these projects. And I’ll see you at the groundbreaking.” He’s had cause to use that line more than once since, taunting the Republicans who did just as he predicted—most recently, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Biden's half-trillion-dollar edge
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatawrapper.dwcdn
Data: The White House. (Projects with announced totals, excluding projects in tribes or their subdivisions, or projects that span multiple states.) Map: Axios Visuals

President Biden's infrastructure and clean-energy bills are pumping a half-trillion dollars into projects nationwide — half of that to Republican and swing states, Axios' Hans Nichols writes.

  • Why it matters: The funding lets Biden and his cabinet regularly announce job-creating goodies — winning voters town by town, trip by trip.

The swing-state largesse includes $10 billion in grants and investments in both Michigan and North Carolina — and a combined $46 billion in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia. Those are the seven swing states in the presidential race.

  • As of early March, the White House had announced a total of $478 billion in projects from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
  • That's only about half the funds available for direct investments. So expect continuing Air Force One (and Two) sorties to battleground states to announce more billion-dollar grants and loans.

🔎 The intrigue: In a second term, former President Trump would try to unwind Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which passed Congress with no GOP support. But the scale of investments in red states will make that hard.

  • "I hate to acknowledge this, as a former governor of Michigan. But we know that all these battery investments are going to red states," Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told Axios last week.
  • And as much as some Republicans have criticized Biden's economic programs, "those governors aren't going to want to see the investment — the Inflation Reduction Act — reversed," Granholm added.
  • In a 24-hour blitz through Michigan last week, Granholm announced a $1.52 billion loan guarantee to restart a nuclear facility and visited a Heinz-Kraft relish factory that received a $13 million grant.

🔮 What's next: Biden is starting to dole out grants and loans from his third signature bill, the Chips and Science Act — which includes $39 billion in grants, plus loans and loan guarantees valued at $75 billion.

  • Last month, he traveled to Arizona — one of his top November targets — to announce $20 billion in federal funding for an Intel semiconductor facility.

Keep reading.

🌉 Surprise! Bridges are getting safer
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatawrapper.dwcdn
Data: USDOT National Bridge Inventory. Chart: Will Chase/Axios

America's bridge infrastructure — long seen as dysfunctional — has been steadily improving for the past 20 years, Axios' Will Chase writes.

  • Why it matters: The share of bridges rated poor by the federal government fell from 15% in 2000 to 6.8% in 2023.

🧮 By the numbers: Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan collectively house 40% of neglected bridges.

  • One factor is the bridges' age. Pennsylvania, which tops the list of neglected bridges, has 2,000 bridges built 100+ years ago.
  • Texas, with a single neglected bridge, has just 311 century-old bridges.

Explore the data.

Public input wanted for water fund
 
Illustration of pipes shaped like a dollar sign.
 

Illustration: Maura Losch/Axios

 

Texans have a week to tell the state how they want it to spend the $1 billion water infrastructure fund approved by voters in November.

Why it matters: People are flocking to Texas. The population is estimated to grow from about 30 million to 51 million by 2070.

State of play: Proposition 6 earmarked $1 billion to create the Texas Water Fund for water loss and conservation projects, with a focus on rural communities.

  • It's the state's largest investment in water infrastructure since 2013, but proponents say it still won't meet the enormous demand.

Zoom in: Dallas-Fort Worth will be the driving force behind the water demand, per a 2023 state report.

  • Demand in North Texas will increase by nearly 68% in the next 50 years, more than any other region in the state.

How it works: The Texas Water Development Board will determine how to distribute the money. At least $250 million must be allocated to projects that create new water sources.

Threat level: Texas water systems are losing at least 572,000 acre-feet of water per year because of the deteriorating infrastructure or breaks caused by shifting ground from droughts.

  • That's enough to meet the total 2020 annual municipal needs of the cities of Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Laredo and Lubbock, per a 2022 study.

What's next: Public comment closes at the end of the month. The board will finalize the fund guidelines and rules by the fall.
