The Emerging Concerns Over the Infrastructure Law Rollout

Republican lawmakers in Congress and some state highway officials are criticizing a proposal by the Transportation Department that would require states to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on their roads.

State officials are also pressing for federal agencies to grant their departments greater flexibility in deciding how to spend funding from the new infrastructure law. And they’re warning that they could run into problems trying to meet requirements for buying American-made materials for projects—including with the nationwide buildout of electric vehicle charging stations.

If states can't figure out how to comply, I guess they don't get the money. Too bad for them.
