Trump vetoed a clean-water bill for Colorado, citing costs; critics call it political retaliation.
Citing worries about taxpayer costs and fiscal responsibility, Trump vetoed the bipartisan Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, which would have provided funding for a clean-water pipeline for 39 communities in southeast Colorado.
The goal of the bill, which was unanimously approved by both houses, was to give roughly 50,000 people living in a region with tainted groundwater access to clean drinking water.
Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado accused Trump of political retaliation because she opposed his attempts to pardon a former county clerk and pushed for the release of documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein.
Democratic lawmakers and Colorado officials were among those who criticized the veto, claiming it was politically motivated.
The White House countered that the project went against its immigration and budgetary priorities.
Whether Congress will try to override the veto is still up in the air.
