Mayor Pete along with a lot of others including Joe Biden, Governor Shapiro, and really good workers got this Freeway in Philadelphia back open in under 2 weeks.

But our current Sec. of Transportation is taking months of vacations which is paid for by corporations who do business with the USDOT. So in the end we are paying for his and his family’s vacations by paying those
corporations for their goods and services.
