Fixing our toxic water is, without a doubt, the most important issue for our community. That's why one of my top priorities in Congress has been passing legislation called the Water Resources Development Act. We cannot wait any longer to get this bill signed into law!

This week the Army Corps testified before Congress and I pressed them on the need for a human health and safety standard to stop discharges. I also introduced a new bill that would make public health and safety the top priority for the management of Lake Okeechobee.

There is a massive human and environmental toll from the discharges to the Treasure Coast. And it's turning the Treasure Coast into the Tortured Coast. The Tortured Coast documentary series highlights the people and places being destroyed.

To hear more about the water task force meeting this week and bills we passed to improve healthcare, help veterans and strengthen our national defense, watch this week's week in review video.
