Not good enough

President Biden’s $2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill which only dedicates $621 billion in “real” infrastructure. Wants to give Amtrak $80 Billion to improve Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor and expand service across America. By the way Biden’s son Hunter sat on Amtrak Board for 5 years, it’s nice to be the son of a government official.

I ask why doesn’t our Valley’s two representatives Congressman McCarthy and Garcia lobby so we have funding for a route from LASCV-AV-Bakersfield so we in AV and most of California could take a trip by train finally from San Diego to Sacramento/SF. We could put the noisy/congestion

AV train tracks in a trench under our surface streets.

These two reps. have done little for AV in my opinion. Littlerock Dam and our National Park Gate is still closed, still no air-service, still have slow Metrolink, bottlenecks on 14 Freeway, 50,000 commuters suffering, poor healthcare. Then we find out that McCarthy rents a room in D.C. from a lobbying consultant who works for big tech. It might be time to change leadership in AV for D.C.

There is a $35 billion water infrastructure bill that was just sent to the House from the Senate. Where is our bacon for our local projects?

It’s time our representatives start thinking clearer and have a strategy for us to improve our lives and solve some local problems or it’s time to change them. In AV we keep “over and over again for years now” lose out on government bill funding opportunities, because of lazy, not smart, no local strategy plan, lack of vision and party politics leadership. We deserve better in AV. Let us all put them on a “18-month notice” to fight for AV or lose their jobs because their best has not been good enough for our Valley. Jason Zink
