BONAMICI ANNOUNCES BIPARTISAN TSUNAMI CLEANUP BILL, WARRENTON TOWN HALL MEETING TONIGHT



Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has made plans for an announcement today in Astoria about a new bipartisan tsunami debris cleanup bill that will allow Oregon and other states to receive federal funding for expenses already incurred in the cleanup effort efforts so far.
The event will occur this afternoon at 2:15 at Columbia Hall Room 219 on the Clatsop Community College campus in Astoria.
Bonamici's spokesman says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration received $5 million dollars from the Government of Japan to assist with cleanup activities, but the agency can't spend it on clean-ups that have already occurred, such as the dock fragment that washed up in Newport last year.
Also locally, Bonamici will hold a Town Hall meeting in Warrenton this evening at 6pm, at the Warrenton Community Center, 225 South Main Avenue.
