Tuesday, U.S. Representative Candice Miller introduced the Drinking Water Contamination Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2016, which provides $1 billion in emergency funding to replace Flint’s underground water line infrastructure. Miller said, “This might not be a natural disaster caused by Mother Nature, but, make no mistake, it is a disaster and, in so many ways, it so much worse because it is a manmade disaster. I think in my lifetime this may be one of the worst disasters I have ever seen in America." Miller noted it is a lot of money but added "we spend billions of dollars helping other countries. As an example, we have spent billions in Iraq and Afghanistan building and improving their infrastructure." You can see more of Miller on her bill in the video below and a copy of the bill.
