Vice President Kamala Harris Visits Pittsburgh

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is announcing another $5.8 billion for water infrastructure projects nationwide, paid for by one of the Biden administration’s key legislative victories. Appearing in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Harris says clean water is a right and a way to protect public health. The $5.8 billion will pay for projects in all 50 states, bringing the total awarded for water infrastructure projects to $22 billion. It comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that President Joe Biden signed in 2021. Harris was joined in Pittsburgh by and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan. Regan says clean water is essential.
