You mean when the Democrats take charge?DJ Gribbin, President Trump's infrastructure policy adviser, is departing the White House as the administration's rebuilding plan appears to have hit a wall in Congress.
Gribbin, who led the Trump administration's push for an infrastructure proposal that was released in February, is "moving on to new opportunities," according to a White House official.
[...]
Gribbin has been Trump's point person on infrastructure policy, fiercely defending the administration's push to overhaul the nation's infrastructure.
[...]
During a speech in Ohio last week that was billed as an infrastructure event, the president went off-script about various other topics while saying that a rebuilding plan in Congress will likely come after this year's midterm elections.
The Hill
Unlike "defense" spending and "The Wall"?The administration rolled out its highly anticipated infrastructure blueprint in February after months of delay.
[...]
The White House proposal calls for $200 billion of federal seed money with the goal of generating a $1.5 trillion package. But Democratic lawmakers quickly slammed the plan earlier this year, arguing it does not include enough federal dollars to have a meaningful impact on rebuilding.
[...]
“We still support a strong federal government role in funding infrastructure,” Gribbin told a luncheon hosted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials on March 1. “But it’s important to note that every dollar invested in infrastructure comes out of the pockets of taxpayers.”
So, why is DJ Gribbin really leaving?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
