On his Facebook page, Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano linked to this article from a news source in central PA.
It starts like this:
Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-33) announced nearly $1.7 million in state grants have been awarded for water and sewer infrastructure projects in Franklin and Adams counties.

Here's the bottom line: If Doug's GOP colleagues in DC had their way, none of the funds that Doug is touting would be available for anything.
He's taking credit for something the GOP fought hard to kill.
