Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg told "Face The Nation" that as officials eye rebuilding efforts, it's not fully known the condition of what remains of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore after it collapsed days ago when it was hit by a cargo ship. cbsn.ws/4cOPUMa
@FaceTheNation hopefully the whole bridge doesn't need to be replaced, it took 5 years to build the bridge
The Federal Govt will pay for a large share of the Francis Scott Key bridge replacement. The question is what percentage? Will loans financed by the future value of tolls be a % ? Will insurance company payments be a % ? Will the people of Maryland or Baltimore pay % ? When California had to replace the Bay Bridge, the Feds certainly did not pay 100%. In a few months emotions will have subsided and a rational discussion can be had.
@FaceTheNation Pete will always be my choice. He represents the future and is respectful of the past and people’s positions and he is one of the most intelligent and well spoken people in DC. No doubt he has learned more what’s required in the Oval Office position. @PeteButtigieg
@FaceTheNation @edokeefe Didn’t take Ed long to pull out the race card while talking to Baltimore mayor..
