Senate votes to open floodgates, passes bipartisan $35 billion water infrastructure bill​

The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a $35 billion bill designed to bolster states' water infrastructure with a bipartisan 89-2 vote.

The only two senators to vote against the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act were Republicans Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas.

One of the bill's authors, Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said the legislation will "foster economic growth, build climate-resilient infrastructure, and help ensure that all Americans have access to clean, safe water."

The bill dedicates billions of dollars to upgrade drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the country.

Who cares if George Bush doesn't like them? It's a complement to have Bush for an enemy. It says Cruz is doing something right for Bush to dislike him. Bush is just as big a socialist as Obama and Biden.
