Infrastructure bill also provided funding to Texas...here's an AI summary of the part related to Flood Control...i.e. $$$ was accepted...but obviously not used to help Kerr Country deal with a Flash Flood like we just saw...I should have noted the Biden case. In any event, it isn't for lack of money that Kerr County had no upgraded Flash Flood Alley warning system. People need to be held accountable.

AI Overview

Yes, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, includes funding for Texas flood control projects.
Specifically:

Approximately $811 million was allocated to Texas for infrastructure resilience in 2022, including $423 million through the Army Corps of Engineers for flood mitigation.
An additional $20 million was invested in the Trinity River Flood Control Project, building on the initial $403 million secured for the project in January 2022.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is expected to provide Texas with $2.9 billion over five years to improve water infrastructure across the state, which includes funding to address stormwater infrastructure and flood impacts.

In addition to this, the Biden-Harris administration announced $358,980,000 for Texas to upgrade drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure as part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda in February 2024, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This funding is part of a larger investment in the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds.

While there have been discussions and efforts regarding state-level funding for flood control in Texas, particularly after events like Hurricane Harvey, the Biden Infrastructure Law has provided federal resources to address flood mitigation and infrastructure resilience in the state.
