Rep. Ann Wagner criticizes exclusion of radiation compensation plan from spending bill for gov't shutdown prevention.
Rep. Ann Wagner criticized the exclusion of a radiation compensation plan from a spending bill aiming to prevent a government shutdown. Sen. Josh Hawley's proposed legislation would extend and expand the 1990 Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to include states like Missouri affected by the nation's nuclear weapons program. Despite the exclusion, proponents plan to keep pushing for reauthorization and expansion of the RECA program.
