I don't get why they're pushing for this bill. Seems like a waste of time and money. How does this even help us out here in rural America? I just don't see the point. #confused #HRBill5037 #MiddleMileAct Rural communities benefit from the United States HR Bill 5037 Middle Mile for Rural America Act.
