“Earlier this week the House passed the Water Resources and Development Act which includes essential protection for property owners on Table Rock Lake in my district. Table Rock Lake is more than just a body of water. It is beloved as a landmark in southwest Missouri and a crown jewel of the Ozarks. The provisions in this bill will ensure that property owners who have inadvertently encroached parts of their homes on corps land or rely on septic systems do not have to remove these essential structures. I extend my gratitude to Chairman Graves, a proud fellow Missourian and a steadfast advocate for this cause. I also wish to thank Subcommittee Chairman Rouzer for his unwavering support of these critical provisions. Together, we are standing up for the rights and the livelihoods of the residents of Table Rock Lake. This is a proud, proud moment for southwest Missouri, and I am so honored to be leading this effort. ____________________”
