Issue Position: Transportation Infrastructure

Issue Position

To grow our economy we must invest in infrastrure repair and expansion. John supports Gov. Ricketts and the Legislature's efforts to create an infrastructure bank that will expediate transportation construction projects across the state in a more efficient manner without raising taxes.

We must find new, innovative ways to fund our state's critical priorities. This is why John supports former State Senator, now U.S. Senator, Deb Fischer's approach to transportation funding. Sen. Fischer's efforts as a State Senator, required that a percentage of the state's sales tax revenue went to transportation projects, thus ensuring Nebraska will have a robust transportation infrastructure in the future. All without increasing taxes. This is the type of innovative approach that prioritizes current spending that John will support as a State Senator.
