| 摘要： | After a tense couple of weeks due to President Donald Trump's threats to veto the $2.3 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (H.R. 133), an omnibus appropriations bill that included this year's Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), he finally signed it into law. None of the president s disagreements with Congress over the bill had anything to do with WRDA itself, but instead concerned issues like the amount of the stimulus checks for each American in the $900 billion COVID-19 relief portion of the bill, and various foreign expenditures. Another part of the omnibus appropriations bill funded the Corps of Engineers' Water Infrastructure Financing Program (CWIFP) for the first time ever. The program, first authorized (but bot funded) in 2014, will "accelerate non-federal investments in water resources infrastructure by providing long-term, low-cost loans to creditworthy borrowers" like levee districts, state and local governments for levee and other waterways infrastructure improvements. |
