The bill, which must still be voted upon by the Senate and House, was advanced Thursday by the Senate Appropriations Committee by a vote of 28-o as a first key step. “This funding bill will keep Nebraskans healthy and safe by investing in crucial water infrastructure projects across our state. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I fought to secure measures that support the construction of water treatment plants, the replacement of aging water towers, and the continued removal of dangerous lead pipes throughout our state. I look forward to the full Senate taking up and passing this important legislation,” said Senator Fischer.
