Senate panel trims Carter water projects to nine
The Senate Appropriations Committee killed nine of Carter’s planned water projects in a bipartisan move aimed at avoiding a veto. The measure funds a broad $10.4 billion public works package but drops nine projects including Grove Lake Reservoir in Kansas and LaFarge Lake in Wisconsin, while preserving others like Applegate Lake and Atchafalaya Bayous. The panel’s action reflects compromise between Carter’s earlier 18 project list and a House bill funding most of them.
