INFRASTRUCTURE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “As President Donald Trump prepares to pitch his plans for overhauling the country’s infrastructure in a Midwest swing this week, the president’s advisers are tempering hopes that they can pass a comprehensive legislative package before the midterm elections this fall. Mr. Trump will head to Richfield, Ohio, on Thursday [3-29-18] to promote his administration’s plan, which would spend $200 billion over a decade, largely on incentives for states and cities to raise their own funds to construct and repair roads, bridges, dams and railroads. But the timeline on the president’s infrastructure push—once slated for delivery early in his first year in office—continues to slip.”
