Hello everyone. I lurk around here on the train, usually try not to get into most of the discussions, but always love to hear all the different reasonings on all subjects.

I thought it would be interesting to here everyone's opinions on the Water Resource Development Act, the thoughts on W's veto of it, and thoughts on the fact that the Congress passed it with enough votes that they will most likely choose to envoke their veto overide power. I will be chiming in every so often with my own thoughts, but I will give the floor to the next poster. Thanks.
Cheers,
NEWAGEHIPPIE

    Wow, not a single opinion. I guess even the hard core Moving Trainers don't have much to say about this critical bill. :(

    Senate overrides Bush's water bill veto

    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate on Thursday handed President Bush his first veto override -- authorizing $23 billion in new water projects.


    The Army Corps of Engineers works on levee improvements in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    The vote was 79-14. Approval by two-thirds of the Senate, 67 members, was required for passage.

    Bush spiked the measure Friday despite its overwhelming bipartisan support, calling it too costly and complaining that the 900 projects it authorized would overtax the Army Corps of Engineers.
