Senate bill includes $64 million for WA flood damage

Sen. Patty Murray says an emergency spending bill headed to the Senate includes $64 million to help rebuild roads damaged in devastating floods in Washington state.

The bill includes $46.2 million for roads damaged in storms last December and another $17.8 million to repair damage from storms in November 2006.

Murray says the emergency highway money is critical to helping Washington communities rebuild.

Murray, a Democrat, is a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which could take up the emergency spending bill as soon as Thursday.
