Senate President Pro Tempore Patricia Blevins’ statement on the failure of House Bill 140

Senate President Pro Tempore Patricia Blevins, D-Elsmere, issued the following statement following Thursday’s defeat of House Bill 140 in the Senate:

“The roads, bridges and rail lines in our state are aging and it’s disappointing that we were unable to come together to address that today. Investing in our infrastructure is critical. It’s a public safety issue, first and foremost, but making targeted investments that modernize our transportation system also would have created jobs and attracted new employers to our state. I’m pleased that the members of our caucus voted in favor of this important piece of legislation, but now that it has failed, our efforts must continue. I remain confident that ultimately, leaders from all four caucuses will come together in good faith and find a workable solution that moves Delaware forward.”
