On this episode of the #localwordonthestreet, Austin discusses some of the local news in Porterville, you need to know, including an ordinance to raise the speed limits of certain streets in town, and how that may impact you. Next we hit national news to talk about President Biden's infrastructure plan, on the eve of his self-given deadline, and how hyperpartisanship has stalled the efforts. Then we talk about a restrictive voting law in Texas, and how Texan Democrats have stalled the effort. All this and more on #thePutnamBeat
