BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

I am extremely disappointed that this bill will shortchange America's rural and underserved communities, restricting their ability to access water and waste systems, nutritious food, and affordable electricity,"

The federal government should be a steadfast partner for smaller communities whose budgets cannot meet the large, upfront costs of critical quality-of-life projects. Unfortunately, these cuts will hurt the most vulnerable and blunt the forward progress being made to grow our economy for everyone."
