Across Milwaukee, residents can see evidence of federal money from laws passed under the Biden administration, if they know where to look.
It shows up in a growing array of solar panels near the airport.
Some money has yet to be spent, like $3.5 million to rebuild the penguin exhibit at the local zoo and $5.1 million to repair the roof of Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.
That presents both an opportunity and a challenge to Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign as it seeks to show Americans how federal investments have improved their lives.
Doing so is difficult because the laws delegated many spending decisions to state and local officials, obscuring the money’s source.
