Flint to finally receive water aid
MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
The Senate approved a $10 billion water projects bill Thursday that includes emergency funding for Flint, Mich. nearly a year after officials declared a public health emergency because of lead-contaminated water. Senators approved the bill 95-3. The measure now goes to the House, where approval of a similar bill — minus the Flint provision — is expected as soon as next week. The Senate measure would authorize 29 projects in 18 states for dredging, flood control and other projects overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The bipartisan bill includes $100 million in grants and loans to replace lead- contaminated pipes in Flint and other cities with lead emergencies, as well as $50 million to test water for lead in schools and $70 million for water infrastructure loans. Michigan’s Democratic senators, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, welcomed the Flint measure, but said it comes months too late, with city residents still using bottled water. “The people of Flint have waited way too long” for help from the state and federal governments, Stabenow said. “This should never have happened. And we know it happened because of decisions made — bad decisions — at the state level.” Flint’s drinking water became tainted when the city switched from the Detroit water system and began drawing from the Flint River in April 2014 to save money. The impoverished city was under state control at the time. Regulators failed to ensure the water was treated properly and lead from aging pipes leached into the water supply. Elevated lead levels have been found in at least 325 people, including 221 children. Lead contamination has been linked to learning disabilities and other problems. Senators have twice reached a bipartisan deal to help Flint but were blocked after Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, objected. Lee voted against the bill, saying it increases spending without offsetting budget cuts. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the water-projects bill was crucial, not just for Flint but for the rest of the nation. Among other projects, the bill would authorize $1.9 billion to help restore Florida’s Everglades and combat algal blooms that have fouled the state’s beaches and rivers. It also would bolster flood- prevention projects in Baton Rouge, La., where torrential rains last month damaged more than 84,000 homes in the state.

Great for Baylor and the Waco community, the movie “Misconception” plays at 7 p.m. on Monday at The Hippodrome. “Misconception” is part of the year-long Movie Mondays at the Hippodrome. “Misconception” is the third movie of the season, and so far, the season is off to a good start. This is the second year for Movie Mondays at the Waco Hippodrome Theater, a free event that airs documentaries chosen by a committee of Baylor students, faculty and staff.
