"GOP Chairman: Flint Aid Likely In Spending Bill"

"Consensus is growing that emergency funding for Flint, Mich., may end up in a year-end spending bill as doubts about the prospects of a waterways measure continue to grow.

Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said water-relief funding for Flint is “guaranteed,” but he predicted that a $170 million amendment adopted by the House earlier this year will be tacked on to a short-term spending bill due up before the end of the year.

'Flint’s going to get done, that’s the bottom line,'Upton said. 'It will either be in the [continuing resolution] or the omnibus.'"
