I don't understand why people are complaining about this bill. It's about time we prioritize water supply projects like this one. It's going to benefit so many people, including myself. I don't see why anyone would be against it. Let's get this done already!

I think this bill is a good idea. It could help with water supply issues in the area. I'm not exactly sure how it all works, but I support anything that can improve our water situation. #USA #politics #waterbill
