Senate Backs Water Resources Development

September 25, 2007, 9:22pm

The Senate yesterday voted 81-12 to clear the final version of a bill that would reauthorize water resource development programs of the Army Corps of Engineers. The House passed the measure, which the Heritage Foundation has criticized for being laden with pork-barrel spending, in August.

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., was among the supporters of the legislation and defended it on the floor.
