Waurika flood control project tu bbling in Washington politics
The House Public Works committee delayed action on the 25 million dollar Waurika flood control project in Jefferson County awaiting an administration decision. The project faces a jurisdictional clash between the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation and may be in trouble without a clear project type. Rep. Victor Wickersham has introduced a bill to make Waurika a reclamation project, while House Interior committee holds it pending. The committee questioned rapid Corps approval and whether another committee could block action. Subcommittee chair Cliff Davis noted possible haste and warned that rejection by Public Works would end chances this year without Interior approval. The project carries political overtones involving Rep. Walter Rogers and interstate water compacts.
