H.R. 1495, H.R. 1219, H.R. 637 - Federal Monies for Water Improvement

H.R. 1495: Water Resources Development Act of 2007. This was one of the few acts where Bush actually acted as a conservative and vetoed this piece of legislation. However, that did not stop Cathy and many other Republicans from overriding this veto. This was a big boondoggle for environmental ecofreaks authorizing billions in taxpayer dollars for waterways. These should be expenditures at the state level.

H.R. 1219: Lake Hodges Surface Water Improvement and Reclamation Act of 2009. Similar to the above legislation, except this is federal funding for just one project. 43 conservative Republicans voted against this (but Cathy voted for it), but Bush never got a chance to veto this one like the above bill since the Senate never passed it.

H.R. 637: South Orange County Recycled Water Enhancement Act. Ditto to above except only 16 Republicans voted against this one.
