Senate passes $1 trillion infrastructure plan
PROFESSIONAL
LEO FINZI
WASHINGTON
—
The Senate has passed a
nearly $1 trillion bipartisan
plan to rebuild roads and
bridges, modernize public
works systems and boost
broadband internet, among
other improvements to the
nation’s infrastructure.
The White House is pro-
jecting that the investments
will add, on average, about
2 million jobs per year over
the coming decade. Senate
Democratic Leader Chuck
Schumer said just before
the bill passed on Tues-
day that the legislation is
“a decades-overdue step to
revitalize America’s infra-
structure and give our work-
ers, our businesses, our
economy the tools to suc-
ceed in the 21st century.”
The Senate will now turn
to a second, much larger
$3.5 trillion package that
would pay for new family,
health and education pro-
grams, among other liberal
priorities. Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has said the House
will eventually consider
both measures together.
Here’s a breakdown
of the bill passed by the
Senate:
Internet access
The legislation’s $65 bil-
lion for broadband access
would aim to improve inter-
net services for rural areas,
low-income families and
tribal communities. Most of
the money would be made
available through grants to
states.

Modernizing the
electric grid
Several programs in the U.S. Senate’s infrastructure
package include funding to improve salmon habitat.
To protect against the
widespread power outages
that have become more fre-
quent in recent years, the bill
would spend $65 billion to
improve the reliability and
resiliency of the nation’s
power grid. It would also
boost carbon capture tech-
nologies and more environ-
mentally-friendly electricity
sources like clean hydrogen.
Salmon habitat could
signifi cantly improve
under infrastructure plan
By COURTNEY FLATT
Northwest News Network
Pacifi c Northwest salmon could get some help
from the federal infrastructure package.
Some of the funding in the U.S. Senate’s version
of the bill could help remove barriers to salmon hab-
itat — just not the same barriers on the Snake River
that U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, an Idaho Republican,
had hoped to eventually include.
The $1 trillion infrastructure package includes $1
billion over a fi ve-year period to help states remove
pipes, known as culverts, that allow streams to fl ow
under roadways. Improperly designed culverts can
deter salmon from reaching signifi cant portions of
their habitat.
Stream fl ows inside culverts can be too swift
or too shallow for fi sh to navigate, according to
Snohomish County’s Fish Passage Culvert Pro-
gram. Culverts can also create waterfalls that block
salmon from moving upstream.
The culvert removal program, proposed by U.S.
Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat, will
be the fi rst federal program of its kind. The program
will open up salmon spawning habitat in Washing-
ton, Cantwell said.
“The infrastructure bill makes serious invest-
ments in some of our salmon recovery challenges,”
Cantwell said in a statement.
The Senate voted 69-30 to approve the bill.
Roads and bridges
The bill would provide
$110 billion to repair the
nation’s aging highways,
bridges and roads. Accord-
ing to the White House,
173,000 total miles of Amer-
ica’s highways and major
roads and 45,000 bridges
are in poor condition. And
the almost $40 billion for
bridges is the single largest
dedicated bridge investment
since the construction of the
interstate highway system,
according to President Joe
Biden’s administration.

The bill would spend $25
billion to improve runways,
gates and taxiways at air-
ports and to improve termi-
nals. It would also improve
aging infrastructure at air
traffi c control towers.
Q: How does sensitive
toothpaste work?
A:
Imagine one of your teeth - it has
two main sections: the crown above
the gum line and the root below.
People with sensitive teeth experience pain
when their teeth are exposed to something
hot, cold or when pressure is applied.
Water and wastewater
To improve the safety of
the nation’s drinking water,
the legislation would spend
$55 billion on water and
wastewater infrastructure.
The bill would include $15
billion to replace lead pipes
and $10 billion to address
water contamination from
polyfl uoroalkyl substances
— chemicals that were used
in the production of Tefl on
and have also been used in
fi refi ghting foam, water-re-
pellent clothing and many
other items.
Public transit
The $39 billion for pub-
lic transit in the legisla-
tion would expand trans-
portation systems, improve
accessibility for people with
disabilities and provide dol-
lars to state and local gov-
ernments to buy zero-emis-
sion and low-emission
buses. The Department of
Transportation
estimates
that the repair backlog is
more than 24,000 buses,
5,000 rail cars, 200 stations
and thousands of miles of
track and power systems.

The layer of enamel may be thinner and the
gum line may have receded, exposing more
dentin. Therefore, the recession makes teeth
more sensitive.
L E I NA S S A R
Sensitive toothpaste works by blocking the
tubules in the dentine with a chemical called
strontium chloride. Repeated use builds up a
strong barrier by plugging the tubules more
and more, leading to less-sensitive teeth.

Paying for it
Passenger
and freight rail
To reduce Amtrak’s
maintenance backlog, which
has worsened since Super-
storm Sandy nine years
ago, the bill would provide
$66 billion to improve the
rail service’s 457-mile-long
Northeast Corridor as well
as other routes. It’s less than
the $80 billion Biden —
who famously rode Amtrak
from Delaware to Washing-
ton, D.C., during his time

in the Senate — originally
asked for, but it would be
the largest federal invest-
ment in passenger rail ser-
vice since Amtrak was
founded 50 years ago.
Electric vehicles
The bill would spend
$7.5 billion for electric
vehicle charging stations,
which the administration
says are critical to accelerat-
ing the use of electric vehi-
cles to curb climate change.
SUNDAY
MONDAY
The fi ve-year spend-
ing package would be paid
for by tapping $210 bil-
lion in unspent COVID-19
relief aid and $53 billion in
unemployment insurance
aid some states have halted,
along with an array of other
smaller pots of money, like
petroleum reserve sales and
spectrum auctions for 5G
services.

A: It depends on what issues
you may be struggling with.
It takes the first 3-6 sessions
to build a therapeutic
alliance and begin to feel the
benefits. It’s important to
stay with the process even
when it feels uncomfortable
as that is how the best
change occurs.
