Where is Mayor Pete?

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg earlier this week focused on alleged racial inequality in construction sites, noting the workers on infrastructure projects often look different from the people in the community in which they are working.

Buttigieg made the comments during an appearance at the National Association of Counties Conference on Monday.

“We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color that finally sees the project come to them,” he explained.

“But everyone in the hard hats on that project looking like, you know, doing — doing the good paying jobs don’t look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood,” added Buttigieg.
