The U.S. House of Representatives are following the Senate’s example in forming a Missouri River Working Group to address flooding issues in several states.

Missouri Congressmen Emanuel Cleaver, Jo Ann Emerson, Todd Akin, Lacy Clay, Blaine Luetkemeyer, Russ Carnahan, Vicky Hartzler, Sam Graves and Billy Long — all of Missouri’s congressional delegates — have signed on to join the group.
