The New York Times reports the House economic stimulus plan has disappointed advocates for the nation’s long-neglected infrastructure. On Thursday, a $825 billion stimulus plan was introduced. Less than one-third of the plan would go to infrastructure, and much of that would go to high-tech projects rather than traditional concrete-and-steel building and repair work. Although the American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that $1.6 trillion is needed to improve the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, the proposal only calls for spending $30 billion on roads and only $10 billion on transit and rail.
