If infrastructure is shortchanged, it wouldn't be because the budgets in general are tight. Federal, state, and local government in the US spend over six trillion dollars a year. The problem would be that they spend to much on other activities, and in many cases that they spend too much on employee compensation and esp. retirement benefits.

focusing the state’s limited resources on those parts of the state’s infrastructure that are crucial to economic growth

Sounds like a good idea, but governments often have little focus, they spend money all over. If this is going to be an exception (at least with infrastructure funds, it won't do anything about the other over spending), then good.
