RepresentativeBob Gibbs said the proposal for fiscal 2015, which cuts the Army Corps ofEngineers budget by 20%, misprioritises funds away from projects that provideeconomic growth. The corps is responsible for dredging in harbours andnavigation channels across the United States.
“I am a strong supporterof the efforts by Congress to control federal spending. But once again, Ifeel like this is like the old movie ‘Groundhog Day’ for most of us on thecommittee,” said the congressman, comparing the budget to the 1993 comedy in which Bill Murray’scharacter is forced to repeat the same day over and over again – and it’s the day on which Americans turn to a lovable rodent to find out whether winter will continue.
