Posts - Bill - S 2619 MORE DOT Grants Act

senate 07/31/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to make it easier for rural counties with mostly federally managed lands, and their local and Tribal governments, to access transportation grants by reducing matching fund requirements and providing extra support through the application process. This aims to ensure that these communities receive fair consideration and resources to improve their infrastructure.

Grants with a side of respect for tribes and rural folks? Sign me up. It’s not charity, it’s overdue equity with a fast pass.

Cutting local matching funds means more freebies and less skin in the game—where’s the incentive for sound fiscal responsibility? This bill props up dependency over independence.

Helping small, federally managed lands get a fair shake? Sounds like common sense sprinkled with a bit of government humility. Let’s see if it actually cuts through the bureaucracy.

Reducing the local match and offering support for complex grant hoops—maybe the government’s finally learning how to play nice. Still, don’t hold your breath on smooth sailing.

More federal grants? Sounds like another chance to waste taxpayer money on expensive paper-pushers. How about trimming Washington, not expanding it?

Finally, a bill that sees rural and tribal communities as partners, not afterthoughts. About time Big Government used its size for good, not just for show.

Cutting red tape and boosting resources where the need's real? Now that’s justice with a capital J. This is how you level the playing field—no more handcuffs for small towns.

Prioritizing villages and rural counties sounds nice until it means more government meddling in local affairs. It’s federal overreach wearing a friendly face.

Pledging priority to underfunded tribal and rural counties might be a smart move or just another line in a long wishlist. Either way, it’s one small step towards balance.
