The two measures were approved with strong bipartisan support.\n\u201cThese votes were about securing Michigan priorities,\u201d said Bishop. \u201cRepresenting this district and state means fighting for our families \u2013 and that includes getting the people of Flint the long-overdue help they need. We are finally about to make that happen.\n\u201cThe Great Lakes are an important focus of these bills, as well. Formally authorizing the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative allows us to protect our environment for future generations to enjoy. We\u2019re also investing in water infrastructure projects, which will make a big difference for Michigan jobs and the economy.\n\u201cThere was no going home without getting all of this done. The Better Way agenda sets the right tone for 2017 and I\u2019m looking forward to being part of that effort.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mikebishop.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/bishop-secures-michigan-priorities-final-votes-114th-congress"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6153790056705475, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
