U.S. Rep. French Hill, R-Little Rock, shared his views on a variety of subjects ranging from his vote on infrastructure and broadband funding to COVID relief fraud to Russia and party politics.
Appearing on this week’s edition of Capitol View, Hill said he does not regret voting against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package, even though it recently brought more than $1 billion to Arkansas for broadband investment.
“The bipartisan infrastructure bill that President Biden worked on with 11 Senators and Nancy Pelosi in the House contained a lot of good ideas, but it’s money that we thought was, I thought personally was too much for too many projects around the country. Only about 10% of it even went to roads and bridges and core infrastructure. So I voted against it, and I think it’s a contributor to the 40-year high inflation,” Hill said.
