It authorizes 24.9 million for protective works on the Ohio as the first step in a broader Army Engineers plan after January floods. Ohio Valley groups seek to broaden local cost sharing in future sessions, aiming for greater government funding as the bill allows waiving up to 50 percent of local taxes and damages if communities cannot pay.
