Peters Presses on Trump Admin. Freezing Funds for Dam Safety Amid Flooding in Michigan

Published | Video Starts at 01:14

In 2024, DOE announced 300, or excuse me, 430 million in funding for 293 projects across the country, including projects in my home state of Michigan through this program as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law.
