This past Sunday night, the Washington
state legislature passed a budget that included $750,000 of state
taxpayer money to study the breaching of the Lower Snake River dams. These
federal dams are essential to our way of life in Central and Eastern
Washington, and spending almost one million dollars from the state to study the breaching of the federal dams is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
In December, Rep. McMorris Rodgers and I issued a statement
when Governor Inslee proposed spending
the money of hard-working Washingtonians on a duplicative task force to
study a federal power system, and I stand by that statement. I will do
everything in my power to save our dams and all the benefits they
provide our region and our state.

U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse represents the 4th Legislative District of Washington State.
