WHAT: AFP-OH Stop the Spending Spree Tailgate

WHO: AFP-OH

WHEN: Saturday, 2:00-5:00PM

WHERE: South End Parking Lot

Background:

In May, Americans for Prosperity launched a campaign, “End Washington Waste: Stop the Spending Spree,” to oppose the $4+ trillion combined “infrastructure” package. The campaign has so far produced more than 1.5 million letters to elected officials. The breadth of this campaign should signal to lawmakers that Americans want a better path forward. Instead, AFP has advocated an alternative approach focused on empowers individuals, families, and businesses and rebuilds physical infrastructure by:

Preserving federal dollars for targeted construction projects of a national priority.
Ending the practice of spending gas tax revenues on non-highway projects.
Unleashing private investment in infrastructure assets.
Returning power and responsibility to the states wherever possible.
Overhauling the regulatory and permitting system to modernize infrastructure reviews and reduce project costs.
Eliminating costly and unfair labor restrictions.
