BONUS: How a bipartisan infrastructure plan co-negotiated by Sen. Sinema could impact Arizona

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., has helped clinch a long-elusive deal
on infrastructure. President Joe Biden has endorsed the
plan, which was cobbled together over the past weeks behind
closed doors by Sinema, and nine other more moderate senators from
both parties. The framework was rolled out Thursday. It calls for
massive investments into the nation’s roads and bridges, water
systems, internet connectivity, cybersecurity, the buses we use to
get across town and get our kids to school. It would clean up
lead-filled pipes, upgrade power grids and clean up drinking water
for ten million Americans and more than 400,000 schools and child
care facilities. It’s important to note that this framework is not
finished legislation. It’s a deal among a segment of the Senate.
Sinema talked with members of Arizona’s press corps after a deal
was announced. She maintained on Thursday that the deal she
helped broker is evidence that bipartisanship is not dead. Listen
