WRDA: Threatened by 20 extra lumps of pork?

摘要

According to a September Gallup poll, 71% of the public disapproves of the way Congress is doing its job. So it's unusual to find one group that actually finds something to like about a Congressional action. Enter the American Association of Port Authorities. It has lauded Congress for passing HR 1495, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2007, citing it as long overdue legislation that addresses a seven-year backlog of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers programs, including navigation projects, policies and procedures that are necessary to keep pace with today's burgeoning trade.
