Jackson Mississippi water system has failed. Did their Congressmen vote for infrastructure investment?

[rightwinger]

Clearly a thread worth reading for those Republicans who vote by rote.

Long term Republicans who are conservative need to look at the many catastrophes that the people suffer. Local and State Governments are already out of money with their own budgets and need federal monies to fix what is broken or disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes.

Republicans repeatedly vote against infrastructure and disaster relief

But they are first in line to demand federal funding

What is in the bill

TITLE I--DRINKING WATER

This title authorizes a variety of programs within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that support drinking water infrastructure.

Specifically, the title reauthorizes through FY2026 and revises the drinking water state revolving fund program, which provides financial assistance to states and water systems for infrastructure projects. In addition, it reauthorizes through FY2026 existing programs and establishes new programs to support drinking water infrastructure, including programs that

• address emergencies (e.g., cybersecurity events) affecting drinking water systems;
• protect sources of water (e.g., rivers, lakes, and groundwater);
• assist the public water systems of small and disadvantaged communities;
• assist low-income households located in rural areas to maintain access to drinking water and wastewater treatment;
• reduce lead contamination in drinking water; and
• support drinking water and sanitation projects on Indian reservations.

NOTE: EVERY Mississippi Congress member voted against this bill

Ninth Amendment​

The Ninth Amendment was James Madison’s attempt to ensure that the Bill of Rights was not seen as granting to the people of the United States only the specific rights it addressed. In recent years, some have interpreted it as affirming the existence of such “unenumerated” rights outside those expressly protected by the Bill of Rights.

Amendment IX​

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Tenth Amendment​

The Tenth Amendment helps to define the concept of federalism, the relationship between Federal and state governments. As Federal activity has increased, so too has the problem of reconciling state and national interests as they apply to the Federal powers to tax, to police, and to regulations such as wage and hour laws, disclosure of personal information in recordkeeping systems, and laws related to strip-mining.

EVERY Mississippi Congress member voted against it

Now it's every GOP congressman. You're so full of shit.

 

[rightwinger]

Rest assured Mississippi residents

Our President will rescue you.
Even though Mississippi Republican Representatives refused to vote for the Infrastructure bill, funding for their water system will still be available to them

Please remember to remind your elected representative how they voted come November

 

[SassyIrishLass]

May the next disaster meet you, and I'd bet you would want the help necessary for food, water and shelter.

You'd guess wrong, Sigh Catcher.

There's already a thread on this and and a left loon mod was on it? Shame shame

 

[rightwinger]

Now it's every GOP congressman. You're so full of shit.

You are correct
Democratic Congress members voted for the best interest of their state

It was Republicans who do not care

 

[Ralph Norton]

Yet you can’t identify any actual pork in that bill

“Tree equity”: $3 billion
Bias training in health care: $25 million

$900 tax credit for purchasing an e-bike​

Tax credits for local news outlets​

College completion grants​

Salmon conservation: $1 billion​

“Civilian Climate Corps”: $7.5 billion

How's that to get you started?
Sorry I don't have more time to go through the entire 2,400+ page bill.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Everything will be just fine.
The 20 somethings have part of their student loans paid... so it is all good.

A Thread on Mississippi Senators and Congressmen?

This thread is to hold them accountable for their NO vote

Because you refuse to hold Democrats who run Jackson responsible. And Democrats have run the city for a long time.

Current mayor in his second term: Chokwe Antar Lumumba

Since the 1997 election, every mayor of Jackson has been black.

 

[Meathead]

Okay, how are these pork?

Pork, no. Lard.

One line does not capture what is actually funded and why

You are misrepresenting what is funded

 

[Ralph Norton]

Okay, how are these pork?

How are these infrastructure?

 

[otto105]

Pork, no. Lard.

How so?

 

[otto105]

How are these infrastructure?

Which one are we discussing?

 

[Ralph Norton]

One line does not capture what is actually funded and why

You are misrepresenting what is funded

I misrepresented nothing. Look them up if you are confused.
I'm simply stating that the bill contains far more than "infrastructure" which is why Republicans did not vote for it.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Cherry picking at it's finest... how did that work out with Ray Nagin? The left didn't want to blame him for anything.

 

[Ralph Norton]

Which one are we discussing?

How about we start with Salmon Conservation? Are you stating that is very important to infrastructure?
