Susan Collins (R-Maine) has been touting a deal on the infrastructure proposal reached last week by a bipartisan group of senators. During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TfMwQd73ftk\">interview<\/a> Sunday, the Main<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TfMwQd73ftk\">e<\/a> moderate called the framework of the proposed package \u201ctargeted\u201d and \u201cresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins said the proposal includes provisions for strengthening road and bridge building materials as well as electrical infrastructure. She also pointed out part of the plan would be paid for by redirected COVID-19 relief funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA second would be to repurpose some of the COVID funding that has not been spent in the $1.9 trillion package that was enacted in March,\u201d Collins stated. \u201cThere were restrictions on what the funding could be used for. It could be used for water, sewer and broadband. We would make it more flexible, so it could be used for infrastructure projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Recent cyberattacks have highlighted the need to increase cybersecurity across government.
