Budget Request For Drinking Water
By Kayleigh Harvey – Talk Radio News Service
Congressman Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan (I-Northern Mariana Islands) asks the House Committee on the Budget (FY2010 budget) to consider giving funding for safe drinking water in the islands.
“For such a simple thing as turning on the kitchen faucet and having water flow out, anytime of the day or night; water you can put in a glass and drink now, without having a second thought. This is the type of experience that the people I represent mostly do not have,” he said.
