Debbie Dingell Uses Michigan Flooding To Call for Passage of Infrastructure Bill

‘We’ll figure out how we help this area’

EXCERPT:

DINGELL: “I want to point out that the president and the governor talked yesterday afternoon about Midland. He did send troops in — she’s very grateful for them. I mean, it’s a devastating myriad — John Moolenaar, my Republican colleague, had to evacuate, homes are like totally gone. I have friends there, their homes are gone. The homes have moved. They can’t be found. And we just all have to come together under COVID to figure out how we help this area that’s devastating. But there’s another lesson to be learned. The dams that broke have been identified. They had withdrawn the license of one them. They had been identified by civil engineers as being unsafe. This is the time to come together, Republicans and Democrats and pass that infrastructure bill that’s been kicked down the road.”
