Why is US Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine never ever mentioned as the co-sponsor of this bill? Is it because of his association as Hillary Clinton’s VP running mate in 2016? Senator Portman is always “Mr. BiPartisan” except when it serves his purposes to keep quiet and not be!

Dem's massive infrastructure plan is expected to spend $100 billion on the electric grid, > $100 billion on clean energy research. Dems can bring clean energy jobs to Ohio.👍 Portman &GOP says Ohio job creation costs too much because they can't fund tax cuts for the ultra rich.😒
