Clinton proposes $10 billion infrastructure plan

ROCHESTER - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that crumbling bridges, crowded seaports and clogged highways threaten the economy and homeland security as well as the public's safety.

Last week's fatal bridge collapse in Minneapolis underscores the critical need for infrastructure improvements nationwide, Clinton said.

“There may be nothing we individually can do to try ease the pain and difficulties the bridge collapse will cause to the Twin Cities area, but there is a great deal we can do as a nation to ensure that accidents like that don't happen in New Hampshire and across America,” she told several hundred people in the historic Rochester Opera House.
