Maine better talks infrastructure with Senator Angus King

Maine better – Angus King.

This is a must-see! MBTA’s Patrick Brady and Orion Breen talk infrastructure and funding with Maine’s U.S. Senator Angus King. The interview comes on the eve of the announcement that the White House has negotiated a bipartisan deal for a big infrastructure bill.

Thanks so much to Brady and Breen for this fun and informative interview — and for Senator King for helping this important legislation come together.
