Today the President signed a bipartisan bill into law that I have long pushed for. It supports water infrastructure projects in North Dakota by providing permanent flood protection for more than 200,000 residents in around Fargo and surrounding areas and preventing the Army Corps form charging for water at Lake Sakakawea. Now we need to come together to get the diversion built to protect our communities from the devastating consequences of future floods while also addressing the upstream impacts. Because Mayor Walaker played an instrumental role in advancing long-term flood protection for the Fargo-Moorhead region, I worked to make sure he could join the President for the bill signing.
