Midterm Blue Tsunami’s Impacts On Construction Industry Unclear

By JOHN JORDAN

WASHINGTON—Analysts are beginning to theorize what impact the Democratic victory, characterized by some as a “blue tsunami” in the recent midterm election, will have on the transportation and building sectors going forward. Most are hopeful that Congress and the Trump Administration will collaborate on a bipartisan effort to increase transportation infrastructure spending in the new year.

Reasons for the Democratic rout centered on inflation, the high cost of living, the Iran war, tariffs, corruption, opposition to data centers and declining support for President Trump, according to multiple polls. https://cicbca.org/202611-midterm-blue-tsunamis-impacts-on-construction-industry-unclear/

Op-Ed: A Government Takeover of Central Hudson Would Be a Mistake
By John Cooney, Jr.

Proposed legislation in Albany would pursue a public takeover of Central Hudson, replacing a regulated utility with a government-run entity. While proponents frame this as a solution to affordability concerns, the reality is that this would create serious economic uncertainty, threaten jobs, and undermine long-term infrastructure investment that is required to truly address energy affordability for our region. https://cicbca.org/op-ed-a-government-takeover-of-central-hudson-would-be-a-mistake/
