[KY League of Cities @KyLeagueCities]

The @VillaHills1962 council & Mayor Heather Jansen passed a resolution asking their legislators, @kimbanta5 & @kychrismcdaniel, to support a measure that increases transportation funding and updates Ky's road funding formulas. The city is urging the legislature to act in #kyga21!

"In Kentucky, it's 26 cents for the gas tax, in Ohio it's 38 cents for the gas tax, and in Indiana, it's a whole 20 cents more. States around us have already come to this conclusion that you have to invest in infrastructure" —Brent Cooper of @nkychamber. https://t.co/ofqKkiDVi6

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

We can reimagine our infrastructure for future generations. We can also "fix the damn roads" we already have.

We can and must do both.
