These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Environmental oversight versus expedited local maintenance
Views the bill as a narrowly focused operational change.

Likely favorable as a limited, local‑control measure that reduces federal bottlenecks.
Regards empowering regional water authorities as efficient and appropriate.
