transportation, broadband, water, waste, power, flood management and ports.\u003cbr/\u003e              That is intended to address criticism from some Republican senators that the administration's initial emphasis on public-private partnerships would do little to help rural, GOP-leaning states.\u003cbr/\u003e              The remaining federal dollars include: 20 billion US dollars for expanded loan programmes and private bonds, 20 billion US dollars for \"transformative projects\" that seen as visionary and 10 billion US dollars for a capital financing fund and office-building by the federal government.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Washington, DC -

Miami Dade County has embarked on its Miami smart plan, that's hashtag Miami smart plans for those that follow. We're trying to be very aggressive. We've not only decided to put skin in the game, we levy a half penny. We've also created legislation that allows us to create transit-oriented development, address the workforce housing issues, it addresses resiliency issues. Our biggest concern, Mr. President, quite honestly is that the environmental regulatory process really delays our ability to deliver projects, and I'll tell you what I consider a horror story. Many of the corridors that we are examining now that we'd like to develop transit, expand our transit system, have been studied since 1970. Mr. President, I was in elementary school at the time that this was being talked about in my county. We have grave concern, and I represent an area full of labourers, and I wonder at times, where does the gridlock do to them, that construction man, that plumber, that carpenter, who loses jobs because he can't get to all five appointments, he only gets to three and those other two go to somebody else.\"  \u003cbr/\u003e              Trump: \"Well we're going to get you. We're going to get you the federal permits Okay. And we're going to get you the environmental and the transportation permits. We'll get them for you so fast your head will spin. The question is are you going to be able to get the local permits because that's going to be up to you.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Bovo: \"Mr. President, our Board of County Commission, our mayor, our governor in the state of Florida and every elected official has now bought into the fact that we cannot allow projects to be delayed four, five years. I said this earlier when we were meeting here as a group privately, it seems to me that the pyramids in Egypt were built faster than some of the projects that we're contemplating.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Trump: \"You wait 25 years and some, we have projects on the books that...25 years. Look at the pipelines, how long they would have been. I approved in the first week and they are now being built. I guess you have one situation that's going to be solved very soon, but very, you know, 48,000 jobs.

It's very important that the local communities, like Miami-Dade and all, and I know Miami-Dade very well, and it's great, those are great people. But you're right it's very tied up. You'll be able to produce some locally, and if you can't, then the money goes to somebody else, because if you can't get your permit you have a certain area. I know (Mississippi Governor) Phil Bryant is going to get all of his permits, I have no doubt about that, right. You will have no problem, I know that.
