Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., today voted in favor of a disapproval resolution seeking to stop the Obama administration from implementing its flawed "Waters of the United States" rule, which would negatively impact North Carolina farmers and landowners. The measure passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 253- 166.

"Federal agencies frequently place burdensome regulations on the American public, and the "Waters of the United States' rule is no exception," said Foxx. "This resolution would prevent an out-of-touch administration from threatening the livelihood of North Carolina's farmers and saddling local governments with exorbitant compliance costs."
