Supervisor Frank stated I will get this signed and get it back to Fred. The East Herkimer Sewer District was in front of Congress with the support of Elise Stefinak. Congress voted and passed the bill and now the Senate has to vote on it. I spoke with Johnathan, he said they may be voting on it sometime next week but Stefinak's office will keep in contact with us. It all depends on their rules and regulations for voting in the Senate. We are also in front of the county; they were supposed to meet yesterday but I have not heard anything back yet regarding the 500,000 in funding. Our delta would be around 1 million. Hopefully we receive enough funding to be able to start digging next year.
