I do not have bullets put together on the contents of the bill right now, so that'll take a little time.

It passed 90-8 and every single democrat voted 'yes' on final passage though (Boxer and Sander did not vote), so it's going to be hard to say that it didn't have enough in it. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=2&vote=00071

Hi guys,
I know you sent us talking points last week on the Senate's obstruction infrastructure actions, but the Senate passed a bill last week on water and infrastructure funding. Do you guys have bullets on that? It was mentioned as an example of bipartisan compromise, but at first glance the funding looks shockingly small compared to the 2015 measure they blocked. Although, I might be comparing apples to oranges here.
Thanks
