1267 bridges in Kansas Second Congressional District Require Work

A 2009 report by the Federal Highway Administration lists the number of subpar bridges by State and County.  Here, by County are the raw numbers of bad bridges in the Second Congressional District.  782 of the District's bridges are Structurally Deficient, 485 of them are Functionally Obsolete, and that is 1267 reasons to reinvest in America and the Second Congressional District.  Here are 1267 reasons for Lynn Jenkins to vote for the American Jobs Act, S. 1549.

Contact Lynn Jenkins and ask her to support the American Jobs Act, S. 1549.  Clearly there is a difference between spending and investment.  Rebuilding America's roads, bridges, and schools is investment in vital infrastructure that puts American workers back to work now.  Tell Lynn Jenkins to PASS THIS BILL!
