WESTERMAN APPLAUDS HOUSE PASSAGE OF ENERGY AND WATER APPROPRIATIONS PACKAGE

After the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations (E&W) bills were successfully passed out of the House of Representatives, Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04)released the following statement:

"Today's vote was a vote to strengthen the infrastructure and waterways that are vital to Arkansas and our state's economy. Crucial infrastructure projects managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), like the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS), are responsible for creating thousands of jobs and transporting our nation's goods and resources to every corner of the country and world. That's why the USACE must receive the funding necessary to maintain our aging infrastructure, support our state's economic development, and build a better, safer Arkansas."
