A report from the City Auditor’s office notes that more than 70% of the city's original bike plan remains untouched.

Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) figures he’ll get a sense this week of the extent of the political backlash caused by his yes vote on the massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan this month. But he said he has no remorse over siding with Democrats on a politically charged piece of legislation.

As President Biden prepares to sign a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill into law Monday, several central New York infrastructure stakeholders are ready to spend some of that money on local projects.

Central New York Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) was prepared to be one of a handful of Republicans who would have voted for a massive infrastructure bill in the House last week. But he never got the chance after it was pulled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when it lost support from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that central New York's public transit will be seeing an influx of funding as part of the massive federal infrastructure package recently passed.

The move underscores the difficult job House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has at keeping her moderate and progressive members satisfied.

The vote is a victory for a group of bipartisan Senate negotiators who worked with the White House to craft the agreement. The measure faces an uphill path in the House.

The 67-27 vote clears the way for final Senate consideration and a looming showdown with progressive Democrats in the House.

After weeks of talks that often appeared on the verge of collapse, a group of 20 Senate Republicans and Democrats reached agreement on a bill funding roads, bridges, transit projects and broadband.
