The legislation included a bipartisan amendment proposed by Congressman John Moolenaar (R-Midland) and Congressman Dan Kildee (D-Flint Township). The amendment makes Flint eligible for $170 million in funding to rebuild its water infrastructure. The amendment passed the House on a 284-141 vote. Congressman Moolenaar made the following statement after the House passed the legislation: "This is a step forward for Flint and the rebuilding of its water infrastructure. This legislation will help Flint heal and I want to thank the entire Michigan delegation and House leadership for their support of this legislation." Speaker of the House Paul Ryan offered praise for Congressman Moolenaar's leadership: "John has always used his leadership to fight for Michigan residents. His dedication and efforts to work across the aisle helped secure a responsible solution to help the citizens of Flint." The legislation co-sponsored by Congressmen Moolenaar and Kildee was passed as part of a larger agreement that is on track to avoid a government shutdown that would have occurred at 12:00 AM on October 1st. Later tonight, the House is expected to pass bipartisan legislation that will avoid a shutdown and fund the federal government through December 9, 2016. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
