The EPA sent Wisconsin $94.3 million in May 2026 to rip out lead water lines. The money came from the 2021 infrastructure law, which Steil voted no on. He posted that he was proud to have brought it home.
In June 2026 the federal government agreed to reimburse North Dakota $27.8 million for its response to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Fedorchak's statement calls it 'unlawful activity' and thanks law enforcement. It does not mention the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the water, or the 160 people injured on one November night.
Keeping Colorado's old coal plants running is costing ratepayers more than $87 million. Asked if it was worth it, Rep. Jeff Hurd said yes — and complained the federal orders forcing one plant open don't last long enough.
In 2018 he convened a roundtable to defend Smithfield after three juries sided with the neighbors of its waste lagoons — 'Nuisance is like beauty. It's in the eye of the beholder.' In 2026 he took credit for a farm bill provision that voids other states' livestock laws. Pork PAC money since 2020: $35,000.
In 2012 Rouzer carried the Senate version of the bill that stopped North Carolina's coastal agencies from setting a sea-level-rise rate for four years — 'there was consensus years and years and years ago that the earth was flat.' The state's own science panel now says the coast he represents should plan on a foot of rise by 2050.
Goldman's first and only enacted law wiped out DOE standards for commercial refrigerators — permanently. DOE's own analysis: $1.32 to $3.43 billion in net savings for the businesses that buy them, against $117.7 million in manufacturer costs. His follow-up bill cancels up to $14,000 in appliance rebates for low-income households, sold with a number from the home builders' lobby.
Eighteen years after Hurricane Ike, the coastal barrier meant to protect Galveston and the Houston Ship Channel has received $5.5 million in federal money against a $35 to $57 billion price tag. Weber has represented that coast for 13 years.
Begich's draft would drop the standard for whale and walrus populations from 'maximum productivity' to bare survival, and auto-approve industrial permits after 165 days. Kawerak, the Eskimo Walrus Commission and the Alaska Federation of Natives all told him no.
HB 6 forced Ohio ratepayers to prop up two coal plants built in the 1950s at $233,000 a day. The nuclear part was repealed within a year of Larry Householder's arrest. The coal part survived until 2025. Carey lobbied on the bill, and now sits on Ways and Means.
