A bill by Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey to study the acidification of estuaries including the Indian River Lagoon was approved Wednesday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

After Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Wednesday morning remarks, several members of Oregon's congressional delegation joined a growing chorus on Capitol Hill calling for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici has reaffirmed her belief that Congress should open an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, after Special Counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that his report into Russian meddling did not exonerate the president.

"As Mueller said when closing his statement, 'there were multiple systematic efforts to interfere with our election. And that deserves the attention of every American,'" Bonamici posted to Twitter on Wednesday, May 29. "We must hold everyone who was involved — including the president — accountable."

PORTLAND, Ore. — After Robert Mueller spoke publicly for the first time, several members of Oregon's congressional delegation renewed calls for impeachment.

During a press conference Wednesday morning, Mueller said, "If we had had confidence that the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

Earlier this month, bipartisan Congress members introduced the Building U.S. Infrastructure by Leveraging Demands for Skills (BUILDS) Act to spur industry partnerships to encourage workforce training programs.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici isn't ready to endorse the impeachment of President Donald Trump, but she says House committees should continue to press their investigations of him and his administration.

"This president is not fit for this office," the Oregon Democrat said to applause at a recent town hall meeting.

"We need to do what we can to get the facts to hold him accountable. But I do not want to do anything to increase the chances of him staying. I think it's not right for the country."
