McConnell issues statement on water crisis

Sen. Mitch McConnell's office in Washington DC has issued a statement regarding Marion's ongoing water crisis.

“My team has been in close contact with local officials to see how I can help the City of Marion resolve their critical water shortage," McConnell said.

"While the state government typically coordinates the immediate response to situations such as this, my office is looking at a number of federal grant programs that could possibly help the community formulate a long-term plan to address this crisis. Every Kentuckian deserves access to safe, accessible drinking water.”
