The legislation, approved 367-58, would spend $1.7 billion over five years in federal grants to states and municipalities to modernize wastewater systems and control sewage overflows that pollute rivers and streams and pose health risks. Those voting against the bill, which now moves to the Senate, were all Republicans. All cameras are pointed at Scooter Libby and his wife, Harriet Grant, as they try to make their way back to the federal courthouse after the guilty verdict. Libby didn't talk to the media but did help up a cameraman who was knocked over.
