H.R. 2018 passed out of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last week with the support of Rep. Duncan and Rep. Fleischmann.  Congressman Cohen stood up for water quality in Tennessee by opposing the bill. H.R. 2018 would seriously restrict EPA’s ability protect water as it flows across state lines, instead relying on each state to do so and losing consistency. States upstream of us with less protective standards could threaten our quality of life. Contact your representative and tell them to oppose H.R. 2018.
