The House of Representatives has passed the federal infrastructure bill, sending it to President Biden for his signature.

Increasing federal infratructure investment has long been an LMC priority, and we appreciate Reps. Emanual Cleaver and Sharice Davids for voting yes on the bill. They were the only Representatives from their respective states to vote yes; 13 Republicans nationwide voted yes and six Democrats no.

The past three years have seen many of our key legislative/public issue agenda items accomplished: defeat of Missouri "right-to-work," renweal of KCMO's earnings tax, implementation of Missouri Medicaid expansion, passage of substantial revenue increase for Missouri transportation, prevailing wage included in KCMO economic development incentive requirements, repeal of the "Cadillac" tax on health insurance plans among others. The efforts of our member organizations and allies have been critical to these successes.
