"A state like Utah has felt the effects of droughts, floods and fires," Secretary Buttigieg said in an interview with FOX 13 News."These funds are going to help protect our transportation infrastructure from the effects of these events."
"We’re reviewing the site of a year ago... I think it’s just evident we need more help," she said of the funding package. Sen. Lee criticized the bill as a factor for increasing inflation. Secretary Buttigieg pushed back on that in his interview with FOX 13 News. At the roundtable discussion, Secretary Buttigieg asked about collaborations between counties and agencies on disasters and transportation projects. Gruber said in Utah, agencies work well together to not only respond to disasters but plan for future projects.
