Rep. Greg Stanton, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona’s 4th district, has expressed concerns over recent executive orders issued by former President Donald Trump. Through a series of tweets, Stanton highlights potential impacts on infrastructure projects in Arizona due to halted funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
On January 22, 2025, Rep. Greg Stanton tweeted: "1/ Buried in Trump's flurry of Executive Orders is a line that halts funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. That means withholding funds for projects like the I-10 expansion, investments in Sky Harbor and Mesa Gateway Airports and upgrades to our water infrastructure." This tweet raises concerns about specific projects affected by the funding halt.
In a subsequent tweet on January 22, 2025, he further elaborated: "2/ Some of these projects are already well underway, and withholding federal funding could leave state and local governments on the hook. I will not sit by while Trump robs Arizonans of promised investments in our communities." Stanton underscores his commitment to defending Arizona's interests against potential financial burdens.
Later that day, Stanton announced his intention to seek clarification from federal authorities: "I'm seeking immediate clarification from @USDOT on Trump's executive order withholding Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds. These are dollars Arizona is counting on for our roads and highways, airports and water infrastructure." This step indicates his proactive approach in addressing the issue with relevant departments.
