You know what I liked about outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood? That he seemed to call it as he saw it. For instance, during a NPR radio interview last week, LaHood lamented the amount of infrastructure spending approved by Congress during his tenure, saying, “America is one big pothole.”
He says America was at one time a world leader in infrastructure but we’re losing our status in that area because we’re not making investments in our infrastructure.
The Hill has more on his interview and call for more spending.
