Northwest Missouri Congressman Sam Graves says the Corps of Engineers has too many priorities for managing the Missouri River. Graves says the bill he introduced in response to this year’s flooding takes aim at those priorities. The bill would make flood control the number one priority. Graves says he wants to make it easy for the Corps.

Graves says he still has questions about this year’s flooding and the decisions that allowed it to happen.

A congressional hearing on the issue is scheduled for November 30.
