Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) said this week that he is open to working with Democrats to craft a package that would advance America’s infrastructure without raising taxes.

Scalise made the comments at a virtual Axios event on Friday where he urged President Joe Biden to fulfill his promise for unity and put the brakes on an advancing “far-left agenda.” His comments came after Biden delivered his 100-day speech to Congress earlier in the week.
