Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg has so far remained silent on the train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals and forced thousands to evacuate, but he did speak out about the lack of diversity in construction this week.
Addressing the National Association of Counties Conference, Buttigieg accused construction sites of not hiring workers that look like the communities they're building for.
'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, but everyone in the hard hats on that project, doing the good paying jobs, don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood,' Buttigieg said.
