flag $675 million in federal funding for Texas projects is at risk due to congressional gridlock ahead of a potential government shutdown.

flag About $675 million in federal funds for Texas projects is at risk as Congress nears a potential government shutdown, with political gridlock halting progress on the budget. flag The money, secured through nearly 350 earmarks, would support infrastructure, water systems, transportation, research, and community initiatives across the state. flag Most Texas lawmakers, including 75% of the state’s earmarked funds going to Republicans, have backed the funding despite past opposition to the practice. flag The fate of the projects depends on whether Congress passes a final spending package before the fiscal year ends.
