I think that might even have been intentional.

In the example I gave is when the floods right, that leads to lost crops, so therefore less of a need for the workforce to harvest.

But sadly I think it's a little out of the expertise, or the attention of a lot of federal employees because of the programs, the agency that they work in.

These conversations are all too timely, I think, as a lot of us in the field know the significance of a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited the scope of the Clean Water Act.

I rise in opposition to the harmful CRA resolution that would cause tens of millions of hard-working Americans to see their monthly budgets get even further squeezed, making it harder to pay their bills or afford basic necessities. I rise…

It is only right that we take a close look at the state of our country's water systems and the Federal investments needed.

we can't truly call ourselves a compassionate country, and no one can truly pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness unless every family has the dignity of safe drinking water and proper sanitation.

there is no reason that we can't do the same for water rate assistance. I believe we can and we must come together in a bipartisan fashion to make these meaningful investments.

one time assistance is not a solution for a family sitting at the kitchen table deciding between the next grocery store trip or next month's water bill.

So if that is limited on the Federal side, separate and apart from a dollar, a grant, or a favorable loan, this is hurting more than it is helping.

During the COVID pandemic, Congress recognized the risk of impending water shut offs and growing debt nationwide.

Congress created the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program.
