“We think we are trying to make a point here today that there were some strong reservations that should have been taken into account by the Rules Committee. We are not trying to chip away at minimum wage. We tried last year to pass a new minimum wage. What we are trying to do is get work done that is in the best interest of not only Americans who need these projects to complete things that have been done to their communities as a result of damage but also to move forward with more efficiency. We support spending money for clean water. We don't support bloated projects that are against the market-based abilities that communities have. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
