Dave Joyce: Infrastructure Bad

Open Letter to Dave Joyce (OH-14). I've been writing letters to our US House representative every week for a month. This is the latest one.

Representative Dave Joyce (Ohio-14) 8500 Station Street Suite 390 Mentor, OH 44060

Hello Rep. Joyce, This letter is intended to explain my disagreement with your inexplicable vote against the infrastructure bill. Your inaction is literally killing Americans. Decaying infrastructure is not a new or unknown problem: the Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati has needed repairs for years. Other catastrophes include Amtrak crashes, the Hoan bridge in Milwaukee, I-480 bridge in Webbers Falls, OK, C-470 overpass over I-70 in Golden, CO, Minneapolis I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River, all show that failure to invest literally KILLS Americans. Your “no” vote last week was not tied to any other bills, it was a clean vote, but you chose to deny incredibly important infrastructure investment that will be used by your own, and our, children and grandchildren. You decry deficit spending but this is timed investment. The bipartisan infrastructure bill, negotiated in good faith as you say, will be paid for, appropriately, by the users as it is used; by all of us, our children and grandchildren. You want to show how republican you are, knowing that the dems have us constituents covered, then you criticize them for doing it. I continue to be disappointed in your behavior as my representative, especially in your very safe R+5 district. Sincerely,
