Full federal funding for Key Bridge rebuild a bridge too far for some conservatives

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : If more federal funding is needed, the Freedom Caucus said, Congress should ensure that the additional spending is fully offset by government revenue, and that "burdensome regulations" such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act can be safely ignored to prevent cost overruns.
47% : The House Freedom Caucus is advocating for Congress to minimize government spending on a replacement for the collapsed bridge, although the White House has said Washington will fully fund the project.
44% : Some of that additional funding may have to come from Congress -- where some more conservative lawmakers have bristled at the prospect of a fresh injection of government spending that comes hot on the heels of a protracted budget battle.
