WASHINGTON -- A bill that would send $30 million to the University of South Alabama for an engineering and science center has won approval in the full Senate but still needs the agreement of lawmakers in the House.
The bill, which sets spending levels for the U.S. Justice Department, Commerce Department and other agencies for the fiscal year that began this month, passed the Senate 75-19 on Tuesday evening.
Included in the bill is $100,000 for the city of Orange Beach and a fishing mortality education program.
