(Reuters) – President Joe Biden has named former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu to supervise the $1 trillion infrastructure plan, the White House said on Sunday.
Landrieu, also a former Louisiana lieutenant governor, led New Orleans from 2010 to 2018. He played an important role in helping the city rebound from a devastating 2005 hurricane.
