WA Rep. Newhouse fights to withhold congressional support for breaching 4 Snake dams
Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., testified he will work to keep any language that would promote breaching the four lower Snake River dams in Eastern Washington out of a key House water infrastructure bill.
He spoke to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure at a recent hearing on the Water Resources Development Act of 2024.
He opposes any language that would allow not only the physical breaching of the dam, but what he called operational breaching of the four dams in Washington and Idaho.
