In Disaster Relief for those members of our fishing community, so many of whom have had their whole livelihoods taken away from them. And this Disaster Relief money is going to help them during these difficult times, help them to recover, to rebuild what i believe is one of the most critical economic sack ters still in new england. Its one of the oldest, certainly. Im also pleased that this bill reverses some of the reckless cuts from sequestration and instead it makes important investments in the friewrt of this country, in our education, infrastructure, in science and innovation, and yet it also makes strategic cuts.

This is an area thats flood prone, that was struck by Tropical Storm lee and hurricane irene in 2011, and the reconstruction for the damaged transportation infrastructure should have started pretty much right away, but fish and wildlife review delays alone cost us two years before construction could even begin.
