Congressman Indicted For Bribery Spent Roughly Half Of Campaign Cash On Legal Fees

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, speaks about the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA's $102 million dollar investment to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people nationwide, during an announcement in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. The USDA $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant and prior grant enabled Siesta Shores to purchase a filter upgrade along with new raw water pumps and electrical wiring. It also will install six-inch raw water piping and fittings to reach the deeper parts of the community?s water source, Falcon Lake. The 263 projects in which USDA invests will create economic opportunities and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in rural America. The investments are part of the Biden-Harris Administration?s commitment to ensure that people living in rural America have equitable access to the infrastructure and economic opportunities they deserve. ?USDA invests in rural America because we know a strong community is rooted in its people,? Torres Small said. ?Thanks to the leadership of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, USDA can help invest in opportunity and prosperity for all people, regardless of background or financial status, who make up the character and personality of our great country?s rural lands.? The Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District in Zapata County, Texas, receives a $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant to purchase a filter upgrade along with new raw water pumps and electrical wiring. It also will install six-inch raw water piping and fittings to reach the deeper parts of the community?s water source, Falcon Lake. These investments are in addition to the recent expansion of the Rural Partners Network (RPN), which is central to President Biden?s commitment to ensure all rural people can benefit from federal resources. Led by USDA with support from more than 20 federal agencies and commissions, RPN is part of an all-of-government strategy to champion rural people and places, including Native American communities. These programs are Water and Waste Disposal Grants to Alleviate Health Risks on Tribal Lands and Colonias, Appalachian Regional Commission Grants, Delta Health Care Grants, Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grants, Housing Preservation Grants, Rural Community Development Initiative Grants, Tribal College Initiative Grants, Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants, Rural and Native Alaskan Village Grants, Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants and Community Facilities Disaster Grant Program.
