2013 Voto de la Tarjeta de Evaluaciones
Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2609, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014, which would remove a dirty water policy rider from the bill that threatens waters Americans depend on for drinking, swimming, and fishing. The rider would bar the Army Corps of Engineers from restoring longstanding Clean Water Act protections to critical streams and wetlands across the nation. It would prohibit the Army Corps from limiting pollution in waterways that supply public drinking water for 117 million Americans and block the Army Corps' efforts to protect wetlands that are critical for flood protection. On July 9, the House rejected the Moran amendment by a vote of 177-236 (House roll call vote 311). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The harmful language relating to clean water protections was not included in the FY14 omnibus funding bill signed into law by President Obama on January 17, 2014.
