Zinke | Z000018 | zinke.house.gov | zinke | https://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | (WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Today, the United States House of Representatives approved the Energy and Water appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2024 which authorizes spending to more than $57 billion in Energy and Water programs including the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers water projects. This is the fifth individual appropriations bill House Republicans have passed, the Senate has failed to pick up one. Congressman Zinke released the following statement following the passage of the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act: “If you ask any Montanan, they’ll tell you that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. This bill was written with those Montanans in frontside focus, it authorizes more than a hundred million toward rural water projects and redirects the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers’ time away from Biden’s culture and climate wars. There’s no time for them to sit in training about CRT and DEI. They need to be taking care of business that Montanans need tended to continue their way of life.” Topline Points: Read the bill text summary here.
