Congress prepares infrastructure action under Trump

While the fight over the Affordable Care Act looks set to be the first drama of the 115th Congress, lawmakers on both sides are developing their priorities in an area that offers possible compromise: infrastructure upgrades.

The two main infrastructure committees — the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — are expected to be busy in 2017. It’s widely believed that infrastructure upgrades are one of the few areas members of both parties will be able to work together with President-elect Trump in the White House.
