Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) is looking to permanently repeal the Biden administration’s waters of the U.S. — or WOTUS, which Republicans say is overreaching and will burden farmers and businesses.

This new @EPA WOTUS rule will end up costing every American as farmers, ranchers, & industry pay to comply with vast new federal oversight and regulation. Passage of @SenCapito’s resolution of disapproval is crucial to stop this deviation from the intent of the Clean Water Act.
