House-Senate conferees today approved an Interior appropriations bill that includes $475 million for Great Lakes restoration.

The conferees chose to go with the full $475 million passed by the House and favored by President Barack Obama over the $400 million that had been passed by the Senate.

The House could take up the final bill later this week, followed by the Senate next week.

ANS.WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO RUN OUT.Is that so hard to understand? The way they(Government)are spending our money makes you wonder,have they ever worked for a living? Take them to the wood shed.As Trump would say,YOUR FIRED.
