(CNN) President Joe Biden's infrastructure czar Mitch Landrieu sent letters to all the nation's governors on Tuesday urging them to appoint their own infrastructure implementation coordinators to smooth the rollout of the $1.2 trillion law. Landrieu suggested governors could create their own infrastructure task forces -- modeled after the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force created by the President in November -- to help integrate all aspects of the implementation process. The President's task force is co-chaired by Landrieu, who is the former mayor of New Orleans, and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, has also appointed a new infrastructure adviser to the state. The new infrastructure adviser is focused on determining priorities for the billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funding.
