Buttigieg: ‘Everyone Is Better Off When a Previously Divided or Overburdened Neighborhood or Community Gets Knitted Back Together’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “We often hear about stories of communities and color that are divided by construction projects in the past. This is not something that happened in one region of America in the deep south, Birmingham, st. Paul, Minnesota, Philadelphia and so many other places. Our goal is not just to point to the past, we want to show what we can do differently for the future. Often federal dollars went into some of the damage that happened to these neighborhoods that had wells were political power to resist that in the past. We are taking federal dollars to benefit those neighborhoods and make everyone better off.”
