President Joe Biden pledged Wednesday to replace all 400,000 lead service lines in Chicago, saying Mayor Lori Lightfoot had urged him to make it a high priority.
Biden told the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers international convention that he was committed to removing the pipes — with union labor.
Biden devoted much of his 40-minute speech to touting the programs that will be paid for with the infrastructure bill and the success of the $1.9 billion COVID-19 relief bill he passed during his first months in office. Before Biden spoke to the union conference, he traveled to an 800-acre corn, wheat and soybean farm owned by Jeff and Gina O’Connor in Kankakee to tout his plans to reduce inflation and rising food prices by boosting domestic production.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture should double the $250 million the government has invested into fertilizer production as prices soar, Biden said.
