Trump has called for massive transportation investments, with proposals ranging from $500 billion to $1 trillion.
But a final package could end up being far smaller than those initial figures.
Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), the new chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, expressed reservations about such a large price tag.
“I don’t know that we’ve all settled on $1 trillion, even the administration,” Walker said during C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” on Sunday. “If it’s $1 trillion in infrastructure, that is something that we would have to say, ‘There’s a portion of this that we’re not comfortable with and come back to the table.’"
