Mientras el Senado est\u00e1 fuera de sesi\u00f3n la pr\u00f3xima semana, las familias de Flint seguir\u00e1n ba\u00f1ando a sus hijos en agua embotellada y temerosos del agua envenenada que sale de sus ca\u00f1er\u00edas. Esta es una situaci\u00f3n de emergencia y exige ayuda de emergencia sin demora.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cTambi\u00e9n debemos enfrentar el hecho de que miles de otras ciudades en todo Estados Unidos podr\u00edan enfrentar crisis similares si no nos tomamos en serio la reparaci\u00f3n y el reemplazo de nuestra infraestructura de agua que se est\u00e1 desmoronando. A pesar de que las comunidades en todos los estados son vulnerables a este tipo de desastres con sistemas de agua envejecidos, el Congreso a\u00fan no ha actuado para brindarles a las comunidades opciones asequibles para realizar las inversiones en infraestructura necesarias para mantener seguras a nuestras familias. En cambio, el Congreso ha estancado la inversi\u00f3n en la principal herramienta de financiamiento para proyectos de infraestructura de agua, los Fondos Rotatorios Estatales, y no ha logrado financiar la Ley de Innovaci\u00f3n y Financiamiento de Infraestructura de Agua (WIFIA) que se aprob\u00f3 en 2013. Invertir ahora en financiamiento confiable y de bajo costo Los pr\u00e9stamos para reparar nuestra infraestructura de agua en ruinas crear\u00e1n empleos de inmediato y pagar\u00e1n grandes dividendos a largo plazo al evitar futuras crisis de salud como la terrible situaci\u00f3n que enfrenta Flint hoy\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement as Senate Republicans continued to block proposed aid to Flint, Michigan, where families are facing lead-poisoned tap water: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unacceptable that Senate Republicans are leaving town without agreeing to a path forward for the water crisis in Flint.
