Senator Wyden in Oregon

While home after the election, Senator Wyden called for investment in infrastructure to stimulute the economy and create jobs. Local officials joined Wyden in urging Congress to approve a second stimulus package that targets small- to medium-sized, ready-to-go infrastructure projects that create family-wage jobs by improving roads, streets and bridges. State and federal estimates show that every $1 million spend on infrastructure translates into 28 jobs and $3.2 million in total economic activity.
