They cannot wait. They should not have to pay the price for stalled negotiations.\u201d\n\nWASHINGTON \u2013 Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb) spoke on the Senate floor urging her colleagues, once again, to pass her legislation to transfer control of the Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) Swanson Reservoir land and the BoR Red Willow Reservoir land to local officials. She cited the thousands of Nebraskans who petitioned for this legislation, and how the transfer of land would save Nebraska homes from being unnecessarily removed.\n\nThis appeal follows Senator Manchin\u2019s (I-W.V.) block of Fischer\u2019s petition yesterday for her colleagues to pass this bill.\n\nIn her remarks, she emphasized the urgency needed to save these Nebraska homes and the devastation her constituents would endure if this bill were to not pass.\n\nSenator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) blocked the measure, despite his earlier support for it. In her rebuttal, Senator Fischer appealed to the gravity of the situation and implored her colleagues to set politics aside and save Nebraska homes.\n\nClick the image above to watch a video of Senator Fischer\u2019s remarks.\n\nClick here to download audio\n\nClick here to download video", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://www.fischer.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news?ID=45BED9C3-F356-4851-9E81-0A632AE501B4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7728638593107462, "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"}
