WASHINGTON, D.C. – (RealEstateRama) — Congressman Dan Kildee issued the following statement regarding the Senate passage of S. 2848, the Water Resources Development Act, which includes $100 million in funding for water infrastructure in Flint:

“Today the Senate voted 95-3 to pass the Water Resources Development Act, which includes $100 million in funding for water infrastructure in Flint. This funding is a significant step in spurring Flint’s recovery. I will continue to work with Senators Stabenow and Peters, along with any Republicans willing to help, to ensure that money for Flint’s families reaches the President’s desk.

“Now it is incumbent on Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives to follow the Senate’s bipartisan leadership and support Flint families using any available avenue. Throughout the crisis, I have worked closely with my Democratic colleagues and engaged with Republican leadership to help Flint. It is time for Congress to step up and help the people of Flint.”
