Art = infrastructure according to Peter DeFazio

While Speaker Pelosi continues holding a bipartisan infrastructure deal hostage, Peter DeFazio is pushing his own infrastructure bill that will force taxpayers to pay for things like landscaping and art.

Despite opposition from his own colleagues, DeFazio says, “If the Russians can have tilework and chandeliers, we can at least have a little artwork.”

NRCC Comment: “If Peter DeFazio was actually concerned about fixing our nation’s infrastructure, he’d push Speaker Pelosi to stop holding a bipartisan infrastructure deal hostage. Instead, DeFazio is pushing to force taxpayers to pay for artwork instead of ensuring our biggest infrastructure needs are met.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Courtney Parella
