Rob Portman (R-Ohio) said the Biden administration\u2019s infrastructure plan is the wrong approach.<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio lawmaker, who sits on the Senate Finance Committee, slammed Biden\u2019s proposal in a statement Wednesday over its price tag and business taxes. The Republican moderate warned the tax hikes will hurt working families and undermine the country\u2019s economic recovery.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I support improving America\u2019s aging roads, bridges, ports, and other infrastructure, but <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a>&#8216; $2T+ infrastructure proposal is filled with unrelated policy priorities &amp; massive tax increases on job creators struggling to rebound from the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p>This is the wrong approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rob Portman (@senrobportman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/senrobportman\/status\/1377381381483982853?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 31, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Portman also said the plan is too broad and includes items unrelated to infrastructure such as health care and workforce development.
