House Committee Passes Resolution Against New Biden Water Rule

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved a joint resolution against the Biden administration’s new Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule during a Feb. 28 markup, the latest in an ongoing dispute as to federal authority over the nation’s waters.
“I would argue that this may be the most important vote, one of the biggest votes that we cast this Congress,” said Rep. David Rouzer (R-N.C.) prior to the vote.
Rouzer, Committee Chair Sam Graves (R-Mo.), and more than 140 other members of Congress first introduced the resolution in the House on Feb. 2.
They did so in conjunction with the introduction of identical legislation in the Senate by Sen Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.)….}
