Route Fifty: WASHINGTON — President Trump's infrastructure plan will not identify new revenues to help pay for spending and will also not call for cuts to certain mainstay programs now used to fund public works around the U.S., a White House official told mayors here on Thursday.
DJ Gribbin, a special adviser to Trump on infrastructure, also said the White House would submit a "relatively detailed" set of principles for the proposal to Congress one or two weeks after the president delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for next Tuesday.
"Our infrastructure proposal, when we introduce it, will not include new revenue," Gribbin said during a panel at the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting.
