Steil voted against the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that will invest $1 billion in Wisconsin broadband projects
Tuesday, June 27, 2023
RACINE, Wis. – Yesterday the White House announced Wisconsin will receive $1 billion to connect more homes and businesses with high-speed internet access, funded by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that Congressman Bryan Steil voted against.
Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement reminding Wisconsinites that Steil tried to prevent this investment in Wisconsin communities:
“This funding means more Wisconsinites will have access to reliable high-speed internet than ever before. These projects will make it easier for small businesses to succeed and for families to have the affordable and reliable access they deserve, regardless of where they are in our state. Wisconsinites won’t forget that Rep. Bryan Steil tried to stand in the way of this much-needed funding. If Rep. Steil had his way, this funding for high-speed internet expansion and so many critical infrastructure projects in the 1st Congressional District wouldn’t exist. We need elected officials to fight for working families and small businesses and make sure they have the tools they need to succeed.”
